Question Has this been a problem for anyone else?

Ok, so i have an odd problem. My exhaust hangers on the muffler fall off or break, alot it seems like. I never have had this problem with any other car. But i just noticed today, that one was missing, and the other one looked to be cracking. Is this just a problem with my car? or has someone else had this problem?

They have soft and hard rings available. Get the hard ones. Or you could spend a bit more and get the rings for an SL. They have a metal core so your exhaust won't fall if the rubber in the ring fails.

The aftermarket muffler donuts are junk. Use genuine MB ones. They will last for years.

I've got the metal encased ones, very nice. But my exhaust system seems to be hanging low. I'm attributing it to motor mounts and tranny mount need replacing.

I was constantly replacing hangers with OEM's. The last one broke two years ago in BFE Texas and all I had was an chain auto parts store. Bought a generic "o" donut put it around both hangers and ran a platic zip tie through the center to give that figure "8". Its never broken since.
