First post here, but long-time proud four-eyed owner. I'm the original owner of a 1982 Mustang (2.3L). It was my daily driver (except in winter, I'm in WI) up until 2014. The body/suspension has 346,000 miles. Been through a few engines and transmissions though! Other than changing struts a few times, I've done nothing to the front suspension. Currently it rides like a lumber wagon up front. So I'm in the process of replacing front end bushings, bearings, struts, etc. I'd like to replace the strut mounts, but it seems the OEM onion head mounts are non-obtanium? It doesn't seem reasonable to replace all of the front suspension rubber **except** the strut mounts, but I'm curious what others have done? Do I have options? I've removed the mounts and the rubber still seems pliable, at least the little bit I can see top and bottom. The steel sleeve is still bound firmly in the rubber. Bumper on the bottom of the mount looks and feels brand new.
I'm also having some difficulty finding replacements for the rubber spring isolators...suggestions?
Anything else I should be watching for as I rebuild the front suspension? Thanks!
