Bull bar and stupid bolts

I am having the worst luck getting my bull bar installed. I finally got one of the bolts off but destroyed the bushing in the process. I called the Dodge dealership but they said they don't have the bushing in their computer to order. What alternatives do I have to replace them? Now I have a horrific clunking sound coming from my front end when I hit bumps. So frustrating!

There is a thread with the parts manual stickied on the first page. Go to the section pertaining to the front end, find the part number and search online.

There are 2 Bushings. You want the Upper Body Mount Bushing. You shouldnt need the Lower one. (Top one is the threaded one)
Id suggest replacing Both the Bolts aswell, But at around $20/ec for the bolts and the bushing is between $30-40/each

Pictures The Bushing and Bolt



I had to do this to both my bushings to get the bolt out. (Both would just spin)


Ill try to find the p/n
