Front frame rail bushing question.

[elmwood]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and hope I have posted in correct area. I have a rubber bushing I want to replace but have no idea what the part is called.
I have included photos of the bushing and the area it is located. The bushing in the photo is in fine condition. I want to replace the other side. It is located on the front frame rail and connects to the front clip.
If anyone can help me with what I need to call this so I can order one that would be great.

Thanks


btw: It is a 92 ranger xlt

It's simply called a cab mount bushing. You'll be best off to buy them in a set.

Also, you might encounter a serious rust problem in the metal bracket that holds it in place. I recommend fixing the lost metal before installing new bushings.


Oh, and I HIGHLY recommend polyurethane bushings. They are nice and smooth riding once you've got them installed. My ranger no longer had the "cab wobble" from the wore out rubber bushings.

You dont happen to have a site that will sell me two of these do you? I have called around and most kits are like 12 piece for $80. I just need the two front.

They're expensive by themselves. I went with the full poly kit from LMC and it was $70.


Btw, search around for OEM body mount bushings and you might come up with a source that is less expensive.

From experience, replacing the cab bushings is a pain in the ass. I did it on a 94'. Does anyone agree?

I did this with one my buddies on his BII and it took us a little over 2 1/2 hours to get them out and back in. He has a lift in his work shop and this helped out a bit. He had no rust issues. I would not do it by myself.
