Any of you Fusey owners had to change any of the sub frame isolators? You know those rubber frame isolators, under the radiator yoke, 2 each side on the subframe outrigger under each front door and one each side at the rear of the subframe ...i.e. the fusey only "torsion quiet" feature?
Yesterday I noticed one of the bolts on the subframe outrigger (in the frame under the drivers side) was pretty badly corroded. When I attempted to remove the bolt it cam out along with a pile of rust. What I believe was once a 1/2" bolt (only because it has a 3/4" hex head) was reduced to a rusted 1/4" dia slither which snapped the minute I applied torque to it.
My follow up question is does anyone know if these isolators are still available? In my searching also stumbled across an old Chrysler TSB that goes into detail about the precautions required when replacing these frame mounts - apparenty if not done corrctly, the front fenders can buckle!. If these are not available I'm goig to somehow have to drill out the old rusted bolt and repair it somehow. Not sure how safe to drive like this. What can I say, more worries and headaches!
