Body Bushing Diagram

[ssn696]

I read a lot of discussion about the #5 position bushings used on Pontiacs and Buicks. A few years ago, I bought a Prothane 7-132-BL poly bushing kit and the instruction sheet shows a #5 mount. Has no fastener running through it. Is this the fabled #5? Anyone have a diagram showing where the #1 - #7 locations are? Would have been helpful if Prothane had this data on their instructions...

**Update**
The Energy Suspension kit has instructions with a diagram. #5 seems to be in front of the rear spring mounts. That does not seem like it would make that much of a difference. Now, a bushings under the front seats seem like they would make an improvement. Enlightenment welcome.

i am thinking about this one >> https://www.opgi.com/monte-carlo/1978/c ... s/L240670/

cause i feel those energy suspension bushings reduces ride comfort and i researched about it also...

Here you go. It's in the forum posted some where already but it was easier to find the original than search for the post. The number five position on wagons is just a cushion with no bolt. I've read that some of the cars did not originally come with a number five cushion, specifically some of the Regals', maybe GN's. Number one position is the core support mount and number seven is the last mount on the car at the rear. ...
