Rubber bushings with built in nut for radiator mounts

[Jtrux]

I recently replaced the radiator on my 1987 2.5L equipped MJ and the rubber bushings that the radiator sits on were toast.  When attempting to remove the bolts that held them in place, I ended up twisting the nuts right out of the rubber bushing, ruining them.  

Does anyone know if those are still available and where I might find them?

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

I've never seen the rubber mounts for those before. Never knew they were supposed to be there either; every truck I've seen with a 2.5 never had them. Looks like I learned something new today. :cheers:

Thanks for the replies but that's actually not what I'm looking for. These are smallish round bushings that support the upper part of the radiator. I'll try to snap a pic of them later.

Pretty sure THESE are what you need. They are called a Well nuts, p/n 34201348. The dealer might possibly have them too.

The Home Depot near me stocks well nuts in various sizes ...

Most definitely, as does Lowes, Ace hardware, etc. If you can find ones that fit in the hole and have the right thread, they will be a lot cheaper too.

That's it!  Thanks, guys.

Not intending to leech off a thread, but does anyone have a picture of how these mount on the core support? Every XJ/MJ I've ever seen in the yards with a 2.5 (not too many, mind) didn't have these. I always thought something should go between the mount and the actual support to keep vibrations to a minimum, but I never thought to investigate.

 

The only ones I've seen listed now that I look are the blocky, square ones. Wierd...
