Possible fix for subframe clunking sounds

I was chatting with the parts guy from an Audi dealer. He does his own
repairs.
The conversation drifted to subframe stuff. He said that he places the tail
end exhaust system round rubber donuts between the chasses and subframe to
stop the clunking.
Essentially he removes the subframe bolts, lowers the subframe a bit,
inserts 4 rubber donuts between chassis and suframe and inserts the bolts
and torques them in. The donuts will get squished in and remove any
looseness which stops all noises.
Any comments?
