Chrysler Repair: frame/suspension 1997 LHS, 42 cent stamps, rubber bushing


Question
QUESTION: Hi Kevin, I am trying to locate the part name and number for the 2 large rubber bushing/connectors that connect the body to the front frame.  Each are located on the frame behind each front wheel.  I have been looking for a diagram that shows their location but have not had any luck.

thanks

ANSWER: Hi Scotty,
I believe you are looking for the 'cradle to body isolator bushings'.
See if that looks correct.

QUESTION: Thank you Roland,
I found the parts number info but did not find any info in the repair guide as to the replacement procedure.  My follow up question is regarding the replacement. Is the bolt that extends through the cradle fixed to the body or does it come out? and if it is fixed, then do you only replace the lower bushing or do you have to disassemble or drop the cradle?  If the bolt comes out I assume you have to take out everything over it in the engine compartment to get at it, or is that not possible?

Thanks
Scotty

Answer
Hi Scotty,
The procedure is as you guessed very detailed involving supporting the engine on the body in order to change these bushings out. There are about 8 pages in the '94 manual which I have. The best way to get the info would be for me to xerox and postal mail them to you. If you would be so kind as to send me back three 42-cent stamps that would cover my costs, after you receive the pages. Let me know a postal mailing address if you want me to do that.
