AC bracket bushings

[bavbob]

Below is a copy of my thread posted on the E3 side. No action there so thought I would reach out here:

Real OEM has rubber bushings (#15) for the upper portion of the support but lists none for the lower portion. I assume there must be rubber bushings also at the bottom of the bracket (near number 23 arrow)? I have NO rubber left anywhere and want to replace. Do I get 2 or 4? Also, anyone know if there are aftermarket poly ones? Rough measurement has them 14mmID, 20MM OD

did a repair piece that's posted in the links section above near the bottom section for fixing the a/c bracket. I did it a few years ago. I bought the lower nylon bushes at the local hardware store. Had to do a bit of fitting, nothing hard though.

I did the same repair and it worked well. Purchased nylon solid rod and press fit into metal fittings on each side then center drilled the holes to accept the bolts.

Dealer has the bushings and not very costly, just unsure if they are required at all four support points.

Top and Bottom bushings are different. Dealer only has top. Bottom was NLA.
