Are replacement body mounts available? While replacing the rear brakes on my 92 E-150 Club wagon I noticed that that the rear bushings are bad. Is there a kit factory or aftermarket available?

 

It doesn't look like FTE was much help to you on this. I am in the process of doing a body swap and have the same question...trying to find an aftermarket source for replacement body mount bushings for an E350. What did you end up doing?

 

92s are different from 99s. The bushings just ahead and just aft of the rear axle are some goofy conical deal that look nothing like the puck bushing used elsewhere and all around in later vans. I can't make sense of this odd bushing but it appears the biscuit goes on the inside of the open channel frame member. Even the best maintained early E150 I've seen (not ours) has bushings that look like this (ours) -



My guess is the cone looks clean because the body sank onto the frame over time then lifted when I installed new shocks with helper coils aka Monroe load adjusting Sensa-Tracs.

I'm surprised no one has chimed in with aftermarket part numbers known to fit. I'd take a puck from your open frame to a local 4X4 shop and see what's the closest fit in aftermarket bushings in your choice of material.

I found this ebay listing for hardware for early broncos that looks similar. When I search for the bushings that would correspond, everything looks round like the others. Any chance that the rubber bushing is the same, or similar round bushing that the others use?

If it does use the same round bushings, here are some OEM takeoffs from Bronco Graveyard that should fit...can't beat the price at $3.00/pair!

What does the lower retainer look like??

Hey Hot Air,
Did you ever find the right body mounts? I have a 2005 E350 and running into the same issue.
Thanks,
