BODY MOUNT

[johnrem46]

1977... The bottom of my left front fender is loose. It can be pulled away from the body mount just before the the drivers door. I looked under the car and it seems that the mounting bracket pulled away from the body . The bracket still seems to be attached to the mount. I know I will have to see a body shop but would like to see if anyone can give me some info on this so I won't be going in blind.

Here's a couple of links on body mounts that will give you an idea what's involved.

Thank you Vette79 and Duke94 for your responce. They where very informative and helpful with my issue. It seems that the fireberglass fender seperated from the inner fender. Not the mount. I did notice that the mounts are pretty worn and rusty.,. Was it very difficult to replace them? Thanks for all your help..

I never replaced them on my 78' but saved these two articles just in case I had to. From what I have read, the hardest part is removing the rusty bolts.
