🔧 Dorman Transmission Mount Bushing 917-037 Review

This kit replaced a badly worn stabilizer bar bushing bracket and saved a few bucks over a new bracket. I would buy this product again and recommend it to all shade tree mechanics.

Great product Ford doesn't sell, they want to sell you a mount complete with bushing for $258. Aftermarket mounts are available for around $100. Buy this kit for $45 and remove the old one and put the new one in the existing mount with this kit, or have your local auto dealership with a press to do it for you. The tricky part of the job is removing and reinstalling the mount.

I installed these on my 2005 Mercury Montego. The original bushing wasn't completely worn out, but was definitely cracked and may need to be replaced. I used a Snap On BJP1 ball joint press to press out the old bushing and then press in the new bushing.

Installed this on a 2006 Ford Freestyle today to replace a completely rotted original bushing that cannot be purchased from Ford without removing the entire 4th arm -fold the price to buy. rented a ball joint press (looks like a giant c-clip) to take the old part off and put the new one on. This rubber bushing has a steel bushing and the original part was so tight that the ball joint press couldn't remove it, so I carefully cut the steel bushing on the old part with a hacksaw (being careful not

Bought this bushing for my 2005 Mercury Montego not realizing that the bushing can only be removed from the car with a press tool (which I don't have) and the only way to get this new bushing is with help too to use the press. The rings you see in the product image are for use with a press. With a little rigging you can (maybe) find a way to use it with a large C-clamp and remove/insert the sleeve properly. in my case such a method did not occur to me. For starters, the product I received…
