Need to replace the one on my '96. Anyone know where to buy an OEM one? This is about all I've found so far.

Also found this if anyone runs in to the same situation:

Or these if mine can be straightened:

I don't know where you can find a stock mount, other than another stock axle. If you have a U-Pull-It yard near you, it shouldn't take too much to cut one off.

In your shoes, I would take this opportunity to upgrade. If you managed to crumple a stock one, how long till you crumple the next one?

EZEARL

Crumpled it after doing something stupid.

After all the searching I've done I'll say an OEM one can't be had. Nearest salvage yard is almost 2hrs away and they have none.

I am upgrading. Got two beefed up lower mounts from IRO. And am planning on either replacing the upper with a HD one or adding support to the one on it if it can be straightened. Wouldn't be a bad idea to gusset them for "just in case".

Not much activity here but I wanted to put this out there.

So just found out my axle housing isn't bent. I just ordered the mount I needed from the above link. Wanted let CF members and visitors know that these are good people to deal with. Two separate e-mails sent on two different days were answered within a 2hrs hours. As usual my server screws up when I needed most so ordered by phone. Went good and I get my part Friday. Although you can't tell from the diagram the mount is already assembled.

Earl that RH UCA bracket is a weak point when stock my 4x4 shop suggested that I replace it when I did the lift with adj. CA's. I think mine came from Rustys and what other people used to replace them.

Hey Fred. I let the alignment/repair shop owner choose which one of the two he wanted to work with. Rustys or UCF. He said either would work equally as well but beings the UCF is already assembled it would save me some shop time expense.

If he could have saved the OEM mount (new OEM one
or a similar replacement doesn't exist) we would have went with this:

I also trashed the right lower mount and went with one of these (they only come in pairs).

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one installed before there's a problem.

At least I didn't bend the axle tube or do any other damage.
