Looking for a part

Ive just recently replaced my headlights on my 1997 Ford Aerostar XLT. There is one part that i need in toder for the headlights to not move around. It is called a pivot arm bushing, and i need four of them, but all the ones i ha e seen online so far are either not the right shape, or cost upwards of $7. I need four of them, because my new headlights did not come with those pieces. Any help is appriciated, thank you.

Google the part number for the ones you found for $7. That’ll give you an idea of what the other prices might be. $28 isn’t bad though to solve your issue and be done with it

The bushing was not available by itself, it was only furnished with the arm & pivot assembly (F29Z-13032-A - 1992/97), but it's obsolete, no longer available from Ford.

There are 7 available NOS, but I doubt you can buy them for 7 bucks each.

Ok. You had said you found It online for $7 and up so I assumed you found the actual part

Ford did not sell just the bushing, see post #4.

The bushings the OP found look similar, but...

Dealers have an online parts catalog where all the headlamp parts are shown along with their part numbers.

Online dealer parts catalog says discontinued (no longer available).

Go to autonationfordwhitebearlake.com (formerly FTE sponsor Tousley Ford) online parts catalog, type the number into the box and take a look-see.

I use this site because this dealer sells parts for dealer net cost + 10% .. best price on the net.

I didn’t say they sold it; I was responding to the op. Read carefully. 😒
