Body Bushings

[dipren443]

I have a new set of stock body bushings. As far as the part that goes between body and frame or frame and radiator support, 4 of them measure 5/8" and two measure 7/8". I'm not sure what location the 7/8" bushings go, but would really like to know.

The like 4 go between subframe and body. The other pair are for the core support.

Well the odd thing about that is the 4 that are the same thickness are thinner than the other 2, but look at this pic of DSE body mounts and you will see that the like 4 are thicker than the other 2. So I'm still a little confused.

You are looking at the two pieces there. The part of the bushing that goes between the frame and body is what you want to measure. The taller bit you see is the lower half that doesn't contribute to subframe height in relation to the body. You cant really see mine now that my subframe connectors are in, otherwise I would take a pic for you.

I understand exactly what you are saying, but is the part of the DSE bushing that has the curved sides the part that goes between body and subframe or the part that goes below the subframe? I thought the taller part with the curved inward sides is the part that goes between the body and frame.
Thanks for the help.

Negative. The part with the curve goes on the underside. The other piece indexes on the frame. If you had the DSE bushings in hand, you would know exactly what I am talking about. If I had CAD on this machine, I would make you a nice 2D layout.

I am curious how well I can see mine... If I can get a decent pic under the car, I will snap a few.

OK that makes more sense. I thought the curved part indexed the frame. Thanks for clearing that up.

Had a spare minute at work.
