Body mounts, which way..

[Project86]

is the correct way? There wasn't hardly anything left of the ones I removed, I couldn't use them for reference. I checked and double checked the pdf. document on the web for instructions. Their way puts the metal sleeve on top. This would make for metal to metal rubbing; the probability of squeaking would be likely. The pictures show their way, but I have my doubts. What would be the difference if I put the sleeve in from the bottom? This would make the tub sit directly on the rubber bushing.

Next, picture 2803 shows the big "doughnut" lookin' one being put in the way the instructions call for, but on another CJ I looked at that particular bushing was mounted at the mount under the firewall, not the mount shown.

For the record, this way a Crown kit. It had 12 metal sleeves, 10 rubber rings, 12 rubber "mushroom" looking mounts, and 2 big rubber "doughnut" looking kind. Also, the pdf. off the website say to check section E for the parts list. Uh...there is no section E. But, I did track down another kit from a parts place that listed the quantities of each piece. My pieces match the correct amounts. Thanks for any assistance. When this is over I'll put up some pictures for the next poor unfortunate soul.

I have a feeling you are putting those in upside down in the pics partner. The larger surface should be on top. As well as having the sleeve tube have the flange facing down and away from metal to metal contact.

Here is the link to product instructions. Now granted I'm getting older and can't always read everything. But, the way the directions are calls for metal to metal. As I said earlier that doesn't make to much sense. I'll have it right before the tub comes back from the paint shop. I'll be ready.

Just a heads up for those who haven't encountered this.

Here's a good post and what lengths the tubes need to be cut to.

And how the tube should look after cutting 8 of the ten tubes.
