Default Rubber Part - what's it called??

On the bottom of the radiator, there are little pegs that go into the frame to hold it in. There are rubber bushings that look like flat topped mushrooms? that the pegs sit in. What are those called? I am trying to locate replacements.

I looked everywhere for those, no one had them. I ended up going to a junkyard and they found their way into my pocket...

It's crazy! So will a Grand Cherokee have the same ones cuz there is one sitting at the bone yard across town... You'd think little rubber gromets would dry out and crack they'd still make them.

I've looked everywhere for them.

I'd think rubber bushing would be it.. Searching returned nothing for me. I'd try the dealer. Ace hardware has a good assortment of parts you could probably make work.

I'm thinking I have some rubber cow mats laying around and I'm going to try and cut my own.

Ace is a good suggestion. Maybe I'll head down there and see!

Thanks so much guys

I've found things like this at either a Tractor Supply Center or a surplus warehouse.

Part you're looking for I think is #9 in this drawing. Notice there is no part number for it... dealer might not even be able to get this for you. I know this is not a listing for your engine either, but it was the only pic I could find that showed this part.

No luck at the dealer but.. I did have moderate success at Ace Hardware with some slight modification on what they had

Thanks Guys!
