I was able to replace the worn out body mount bushings on my 1971 with some new Energy Suspension bushings. What a difference! I found out that the rear two didn't even have bolts in them.... and the passenger front mount is torn off my inner fender and core support!

A bit of sage advise: The #3 mount that is beneath the front seats has a hole in the top of the frame that is the perfect size for the tube spacer to fall through. You will have to remove the rear bumper and use a shop vac to retrieve anything you drop inside the frame. I found this all out the hard way!

^ yup! many place a piece of tape over that hole to prevent this.

I ended up doing that on the drivers side. I'm just glad my shop vac hose diameter was small enough and long enough to reach it. I was pretty frustrated by the whole thing because I had just put the rear bumper on after installing my new exhaust.
Did you have any issues with the door gaps changing afterwards? I've considered replacing mine but fear it'll throw the gaps out of whack.
