    They work fine for most locations. I like the thin ones Fusick and Inline sells for the two under the doors.

    I have some of these spare bushings leftover from a few projects. I had to use the metal inserts,but if your originals are good,you could transfer them over to the new bushings that I have. I have the two for the radiator support,and a few others.

    Radiator supports are critical. Some can lift the front too much raising the fan shroud so it hits the fan.

    Old thread but great info.

    I just took all my right side body mounts out of the car. Bought a generic set and I am dissapointed.

    Is there still noone that sells a correct set for a Buick GS? I noticed that the most rear ones are slightly smaller than the rest. Noone reproing those?

    At least my kit included the ones under the door but the lower cushions have no molded in washer and when tightening them up only the lower cushion bulges..looks weird and not like the stock ones..

    TPP has a kit as well but they have Chevrolet imprinted on them...

    Might as well get the bolt kit from Todd...


    Also, why is the one in front of the axle just a cushion when there is a nut in the body? Does it need to "flex" there? Planned to bolt one in but Buick engineers may have had a reason NOT to bolt one there? Opinions?

    I used the bolt in ones in all 4 locations that had cushions on my '64. The caged nuts were already in the body.
