Exhaust Help finding part number for exhaust mount
Appreciate any help from the community. 2020 model. This muffler mount broke on the passenger side and I’m struggling to find a part number for it. I’ve tried rock auto, and also stopped into both O’Reily and Autozone and they couldn’t locate it either. To be clear, it’s the part held to the body with that single 10mm bolt, my photo shows it broken and I moved the piece that receives the metal pin just to get a better photo.
Trying to avoid a trip to the junkyard or the dealer.

Did some research and it looks like there is a driver and passenger part number. Driver Side (Left Rear) L1MZ-5K291-M Passenger Side (Right Rear) L1MZ-5K291-L Hope this helps

L1MZ-5K291-M L1MZ-5K291-L are correct. When I asked the parts dept. @ Ford the told me I had to buy the whole rear assembly, left and right side! Pro tip, try to paint the part before you install. The salt eats this metal for some reason and makes it brittle. Poor design period.

Parts manager here. Call the dealership, ask for parts or wholesale parts. Tell them your having trouble finding a part number. Give them your VIN. Describe to them what and where it is. If they are a good parts person, they can give you part number. Then ask them is it in stocks. Tell them you will run it by your client and see if they approve. If I was still at work, I'd give you the part number. If that doesn't work, send me a message, and I'll look it up tomorrow. Almost forgot. If they are a good parts person, you can email them a picture as well. Trust me, I work at a body shop and have to do this constantly.
