[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1040642, member: 67547"] I replaced the orange MCU body mounts with originals in 2014. Reason I replaced them with OEM was because I got an almost complete set from a long time member for around $100. Big mistake. "B" and "C" foam mounts are self destructing again. In 2017 bought a Daystar KF04015KV kevlar infused kit for $65 from Amazon. If memory serves me right, [USER=58941]@Todd Z[/USER] mentioned the Daystar body mounts were hollow and the Prothane were solid? Can anyone confirm this and how much it affects ride and handling. TIA [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/body-mount-shrinkage-and-compression.414336/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.agcoauto.com/content/news/p2_articleid/183[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.vibracoustic.com/en/product/mcu-body-mounts/[/URL] UPDATE 6/19/21 Pics shown are B pillar bushings. (Position C) First pic torqued to Daystars recommended 45 ft/lb. Second pic same 45 ft/lb, torque with 2 inch washer added in lower bushing. Third pic OEM upper bushing flared sleeve from bottoming out on lower flange. Fourth pic cut flare off sleeve and added 2 inch OD washer inside lower bushing. [/QUOTE]
