no i meant go to pick n pull of something and remove some bushings, that's fairly new so there should be some of those trucks in the yard and they should have good bushings still!
 unlike our 45 year old cars Confused
i don't have any of those bushings BUT i do have a perfect hood and tailgate for a 2000+ ranger Wink

reverse engineer them,

how tall?

outside diameter?

inside diameter?

you can use anything from shelf stock that's close, shim them up or cut them down

Dorman has all sorts of bushings, again you can shim or cut for a custom fit

went back to energy suspension asked about body mounts.maybe calling it a radiator core support was wrong question see monday


Posted By: Rockatansky
Date Posted: 05-October-2019 at 10:08AM
they have a body mount kit, that doesn't cover the rad core support mounts?

lazy B's, they should break a leg figuring it out if they don't cover the application

millions of those running around out there

If only I had not cooked the old ones getting them off. Never though I would need them. I do have a parts truck will remove those and try to match to something thanks for thoughts

Maybe look at Exploders and Sport-Trac Exploders as well.
Sport-Trac is a really a 4-door ranger
