Front radiator support bushings very low

I had the same problem....I used a pair of hockey pucks on each side.

So weird. Trying to wrap my head around WHY. 🤦🏼‍♂️

In my case, it became an issue when I swapped an 86 GP frame under an 86 442. I had always assumed the frame was slightly different.

That may or may not be it. Mine was all the same. Unless energy suspension or prothane made their mounts for the front without changing the body mounts. So they were made too small. Idk

So would it be safe to assume that the body mount bushing kits are the same across the whole G platform, with the exception of the core support bushings? That would make perfect sense seeing as the header is about all that's truly different. I wonder if the bushings are different heights out back.

I had the same thing with my bushing kit. They're just not as big as the stockers. I saved all the washers from the tear down and had to use an extra 2 per side to make the support and fender meet.

As you can see from the pic the stock ones are really thick.


Sorry, wrong pic
