I have a 2002 Moutaineer (4.0L-V6).

As of late, it has been rattling quite a bit when I hit a pot hole.
When I hit a pot hole I feel a loud thump right under the driver's side floor board.
I replaced all the sway bar bushings & links and noticed that all my body mounts have deteriorated to NOTHING.

I found a parts list on ford.com with a callout list.
Here is the list......(sorry for the spacing)
Code:

<00145	 $29.81	2	 $59.62		Body shim 2mm
<00154A	$109.56	2	$219.12		Body mount insulator
<00154B	$106.59	4	$426.36		Body mount insulator
<00154C	 $29.54	2	 $59.08		Body mount insulator
<00154D	 $29.64	2	 $59.28		Body mount insulator

HB2 (2)	 $16.83	1	 $16.83		Bolt M12 x 1.75 x 100   (4/pack)
HB3 (2)	  $8.60	1	  $8.60		Bolt M12 x 105mm        (2/pack)
HN1 (2)	 $13.45	1	 $13.45		Nut M12 x 1.75               (4/pack)
HW1 (10) $13.45	3	 $40.35		Washer 13mm x 57 x 4.8 Rect   (4/pack)
			$1,776.49
The dealer wants $1800 for a complete set.
I verified that with an indy, who wants another $1800 to install them.

I haven't found any aftermarket kits for 2002 Explorer/Mountaineer.
Daystar says the much referenced kit KF04009BK will not fit the Gen3.

With all the Gen3s out there, there has to be an aftermarket solution.

Is there another solution?

Help!

I found the DORMAN parts on RockAuto. They look good even thought they still seem expensive for rubber and bolts.

Code:
DORMAN 924051  Body Position 1		 $31.99	2   $63.98
DORMAN 924053  Body Position 3		 $60.89	2  $121.78
DORMAN 924052  Body Position 2		 $64.79	2  $129.58
DORMAN 924054  Body Position 4,5	$105.79	4  $423.16
Subtotal	$738.50

[MENTION=106710]swshawaii[/MENTION], Thanks for the post and the help.
 












I found the Dorman parts on Amazon...
Code:
DORMAN 924051  Body Position 1		 $32.46	2   $64.92
DORMAN 924052  Body Position 2		 $69.01	2  $138.02
DORMAN 924053  Body Position 3		 $58.24	2  $116.48
DORMAN 924054  Body Position 4,5	 $31.75	4  $127.00
Subtotal	$446.42

I think that is about the cheapest price I can find for the Gen3 body mounts.
Even cheaper than most of the auto parts stores around here.
25% of the price of the dealer OEM parts.
50% of the price of the stores.

I'll make one final post when they arrive and I get them installed to let you know if they fit.

Thanks for all your help.

P.S. Not sure how Amazon works; but I checked the prices again and now the 054's are now $109 which
makes Amazon more expensive than RockAuto. (I hope they had the right price on the one's I ordered)

Amazon is a whole bunch of different vendors on one website. Sometimes Amazon sometimes others. Prices can jump all over the place... Watch out for dirt cheap items that are really counterfeit and crap quality.
