Ex body / frame mount bolt specs
Hello,
Anyone have the specs for these bolts? Went to the dealer yesterday. $21 EACH. I was going to buy a couple just in case I needed for thunk repair until I learned the price. By the way, upper bushing was priced at about $50. I think that's the side of pair that is acting up (it's the one carrying the load). Will try frame shims first. Can't say more about approach until i have part in hand.
Thanks,
Ed

Hi Fred, Service docs claim it's single use. that's not why i'm looking though. I live in Rochester, NY. Road salt capital of the northeast. everything rusts, including glass (well, not quite glass). don't want to start taking stuff apart and not be ready for an oh sh_t moment. ed

Last I checked you actually can't order the upper bushing, I was given a price quote by a Ford dealer an then they looked for quantity and there aren't any, I replaced the bolt and lower bushing and my noise, creak, went away. Did this two weeks ago and very happy.

What I'm finding is about a 0.1" difference in compressed height between frame and body points, comparing rear most mounts and front seat mounts, using approximately common reference points. Similarly, the easier to measure bushing on these mounts, the lower ones, appear 0.1" longer comparing the under seat ones to the rear most ones. Makes me think those two bushing at the under seat location (between frame and body) have compressed a bit, interfering with the inner tube i've heard about. This same compression, has extended the lower bushing - just another symptom.
Vtown00 - did you pay $21 ea for the bolts? How long and what thread?
