frustrated - deteriated body mounts

[fdrescumed]

I need help locating where I can purchase either OEM body mounts or A/M body mounts for my 03 Sport Trac. Apparently I'm joining the crowd of owners with disintegrating body mounts.

I would call o'reilly's or even summit racing.

Well since the Sport Trac has 6 body mounts for the Cab part of the truck and that matches a 95-2001 4 Door Explorer, I would look online for those body mounts. And it only seems to be the 6 cab body mounts that has the problem, right?

Well, I just got off the phone with Bob Utter Ford Parts department... They are not located near me, but I find that they usually beat the prices of local stealerships that I can drive to even with the shipping charges.

So our Sport Tracs have on each side of the cab a front, middle, and rear upper and lower bushing. The lower bushing having a sleeve that the body bolt screws in to. Talking to the parts guy at Bob Utter Ford(1-866-941-3673) each upper and lower for the front, middle, and rear mounts have different part #'s and prices. So here's how it breaks down...

Front Upper = $20.89
Front Lower = $20.86

Middle Upper = $19.86
Middle Lower = $10.96

Rear Upper = $19.92
Rear Lower = $12.57

So if you bought for each side of the cab all upper and lower bushings the total would be $210.12. Don't shoot me if I miss quoted the guy. And he did seem to think that the lowers come with new sleeves. Something like a Daystar Bushing kit doesn't come with the sleeves. So I have read.

I noticed the same thing on my truck I just got upon doing a detailed inspection. The mounts come apart just by scraping then with your fingernail. Oh well, guess I will be forced to do a body lift sometime this year.
