Body mounts / Bushing for the wagons

[oldman58]

So mine is a 1981 Pontiac wagon. Is there a set of body mounts/bushing for these cars or will the ones for the regular Gbodys work?Any info i would be thankful for. Read on the other thread about the Gbodys and people getting there own bolts for them . Thanks all

Body bushings are the same for all G-body cars. I used the Energy Suspension kit #3-4141. which also includes the #5 floating bushing as used in GN/ T-Type cars.
As for the bolts, you can get them from Kirban, G-body Parts, etc...and your local GM dealer.

My advice to you is to make sure you generously spray a good penetrating oil into and around the bolts...PB Blaster, Kroil, etc.

If you do a search on the site you'll find lots of information pertaining to body bushings, bolts, etc.

The worst one on my wagon was passenger side just behind the wheel well.
