Gerahead's 71 Dart

replace the bushings and while you have them off you can paint it all, then put it all back together.the weld you see is most likely from the last time the bushings were replaced. cut the old weld and spread the bushing housing and remove it, then pull the old rubber. reverse for reinstall. postcar.

That explains it!! I was trying to figure out how to get them off to replace the isolator. Figured I was missing somethin'. Guess I shouldn't have overlooked the "just whack them apart and weld 'em back together" option. Thanks. L8r
