[5th Gen : 08+]: Tow hook measurement needed
#1
Tow hook measurement needed
I found the bushing on the support for the front motor mount is worn and needs replacement. In the diagram below, #1 is the support I’m referring to and the bushing that needs replaced is circled.
I was going to just replace it but then I considered swapping the whole bracket for one that has the tow hook as mine currently doesn’t, just in case I do need it someday. I was wondering if anyone has the tow hook and if you could measure how far it extends beyond the edge of the support (marked in red below).
I really don’t expect there to be an issue with the swap as that area on my van is clear and there’s several inches between the bracket and the valance; but I also don’t want to waste the time of ordering and then returning a bracket if it won’t work.
Thanks.

I’m not sure what I was looking at before, but I thought the support with the tow hook was more expensive than the one without. After checking a few websites (Mopar and non-Mopar) I guess I was misreading something because that doesn’t look to be the case.
I’ll have to remove the support to replace the bushing anyway so maybe I’ll just weld on a custom tow hook instead.
