On my 116 300SD I recently noticed a rattle coming from my exhaust. I found one of the rear rubber donuts had broken so I replaced it along with its mate but turns out that wasn't the issue.

Further investigation found 2 missing bolts on the horizontal arm on the pipe forward of the 1st muffler that attaches to the assembly adjacent to the transmission oil pan.

I've never paid much attention to this mount but it sure has my attention now!

It looks to me that 2 bolts attached this arm to the mount but they are now gone. Does anyone know the size of these bolts? I'm thinking I should be able to go to the hardware store and get the proper size and length bolts and nuts and be good to go.

Anybody ever had to deal with this issue?

Thanks
