Noise behind catalytic converter

[rlc3854]

So started hearing a fan vibration noise up front on driver's side. Had the dealer replace the battery a few months ago and notice a nut missing on the hold down strap. Thought replacing the nut fixed the noise but a big nope! The pictures show what I found and fixed. Still taking it to the dealer to have the rubber stub bushings replaced. I haven't hit anything or high sided/brushed the tail pipe muffler on anything. Anyone else experience this having these bushings go bad?

Never had a exhaust hanger bushing go bad on any vehicle I've ever owned. I've had 3 past 10 years old, must be a Made in Mexico issue?

Rubber bushings (silent blocks or engine mounts/fan mounts): If worn or cracked, they can cause vibrations, especially when starting or idling.
