NumberDummy,

Portland Maine is the biggest city in Maine, But it's pretty small!
Go there all to frequently, Thats where the best Dog park is, Priorities you know...

I'm not seeing the pieces I'm after, I'm thinking they are part of the Absorber, If that's the case this urethane kit is poorly designed and I'm hosed!

If I were to insert them into your list, I would put one between the bolt and lower absorber, and one between the upper absorber and the 3/8" washer.

Dang, that upper absorber is pricey ... O-wells, gotta have what ya gotta have!

If there is nothing near me that has them could you look in the newer models, maybe my local dealer will talk to me if I don't say 1986!

Thank you, I really do appreciate this.

-Enjoy
fh : )_~

I'm pretty **** when it comes to authenticity but this is one area where IMO you would be wasting a LOT of money for no reason.

I bought a poly kit for mine 3 years ago, some grade 8 bolts, nuts and a couple grade 8 fender washers and it has worked flawlessly since.

There is no magic the OEM hardware does. There is plenty of adjustment in the support and no real need for spending so much money on OEM in this case.

I have to agree with stosh in this case. $84.03, for just one of the upper absorbers is just stupid, IMO.

core suport,

the core suport does come out, and can come out with both fenders on. i made marks on mine the first time and used them as quick references to put back together then adjusted as needed. it takes only 2 hours to pull entire front and not more then 3 hours to pull the front clip and all the brackets, wires off at most. all the front clip parts on my truck where metric, with standard for engine parts, air filters, smog, etc. i have a 96, i am also having trouble finding parts for the core support and just going to break down and buy a kit for the pickup instead of trying to find the core support rubber.

nothing is better then a cordless impact gun, everything goes to fast. only if it came with a built in torque wrench.

When I typed this post 5/4/2009 .. I didn't have a way to post the pic, because I was using the parts catalog on microfiche.
