Hey all, I currently am driving a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport 2 door (the facelift) and I was wondering how different the body mount bushing kits were to the sport trac of the same year? For as much as I’ve seen about the 2dr vs the trac they’re basically the same vehicle just the trac is bigger with its bed. I accidentally bought a body mount bushing kit meant for the trac and I was wondering if it’d still fit and work for my 2dr?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Maybe
The sport trac has different rear cab mounts then a normal explorer
The front radiator support and front cab mounts will likely be the same

The sport likely has one addition set of cab mounts at the back that a sport trac would not use
So basically you can likely use half of that kit but will still be left needing the rear most mounts

Do they offer a kit for your sport? Maybe worth swapping them out
 






Compare "In The Box" contents.

Do you know of any sites that may sell individual mounts? The sport trac matches up with all but the last 4 of the 10 or so mounts and it’s far too late for me to get a refund 😭😭
 






Unlikely, but try contact Suspension.com on the bottom of the linked dfm002 page. By comparing part numbers, the dfm002 kit contents appears to contain Prothane body mounts. Prothane has a home page and many dealers but the cost of buying four individual mounts (68138-68139) may exceed the cost of the complete dfm002 kit. Are all your body mounts dry rotted or just at certain locations? I bought a complete kit for my 2005 Sport Trac, but only replaced the orange foam "B" and "C" locations because the "A" and "D" body mounts were made of rubber and still intact.

From what I can tell, they’re basically all done for. I’ll have to really inspect them to make sure. But as far as I can tell they’re pretty done. I saw Dorman makes a lot of bushings for my ford so I may try and see if I can find a matching body mount there
