Body mounts?

[boXman]

I was told that's what these are, are they?

[Freshmeat]

Looks like it. Where'd you get it?

[boXman]

I got 6 of them off a guy on CVN, years ago. lol Advertised as P72 body mount bushings.

[mrltd]

look kinda small....

I know one thing is for sure... my originals are crapped out. I wouldn't know what an original looked like by looking at them.

ditto I wonder how thin we can get though?

Those look like p71/fleet body mount bushings (p72 included). The mounts are color coded, blue is typically fleet or heavy duty, and pink or orange (among others) for civilian. You may notice the ride will be slightly stiffer due to a higher durometer of the rubber.

Stiff is Good!

Interesting... Derek, any idea on the durometers? Also, that green is the same durometer as mustang GT/LX endlink bushings.

[drock96marquis]

No idea. I'll look into it, though.

In addition, here is a pic of a typical panther body mount:


You can see the bushing in the pic, it is lower part of the mount. It mounts below the frame mount.
Above that is the absorber. Also rubber. It is between the frame mount and the body:


The two pieces fit inside one another as the absorber assembly. The frame mount is inbetween, isolated.

Shown is a 92+, but a box should be the same.

If you are servicing your body mounts, you should replace both the upper parts for maximum effectiveness.
Both the bushing and absorber are typically color coded for their application/durometer, as mentioned above.
