Body mount trouble

[skyblazer]

Well after about six months of driving on new rubber body mounts, things are starting to sag without the top on. The doors are starting to bind and the door seams are no longer parallel. I tried shimming the mount under the door which helped a little, but now I have to adjust the front fender/door alignment. Anyone found any great fixes for this problem? Thanks in advance. /forums/images/icons/confused.gif

Thats bad news for me, since putting new body mounts on, really triggered the whole FOR exercise (did I do all that for 6mo. of a straight body???).

I assume your rocker boxes are in good shape?

i redid mine with polyurethane.99 dollars for the set.no problems yet.

Well, maybe I'll start tearin stuff apart again, but I think I'll try shimming the middle mounts up again. My rocker boxes are in great shape, but I've heard of guys on the forumns using 3 x 3 square tubing for support instead of the boxes. Anyone have more details and/or pictures?
