    As a follow-up to my thread on this subject, the repair was made and
    my car returned earlier in the week. All seems well.

    However... I just looked in the truck and found the replaced parts in
    a bag. Curious to see their condition, I remover everything. It seems
    they removed more parts than replacements I gave them. So now... I'm
    really curious.

    I gave them four bolts and four donut cushions the Chrysler dealership
    sold me when I explained the repair; cradle bushing replacement. What
    I have in that bag that I DIDN'T give them are two larger donut
    cushions that look like they go between the head of the bolt and the
    frame. Which leads me to wonder... what the hell am I missing? Or what
    was used in place of those larger donuts. Or... did the repair really
    need those larger donut bushings?

    there should have been 8 donut shaped bushings total in the car. 4 on the
    bottom of the cradle and 4 on top of it between the cradle and the frame

    Thanks for the quick turn-around, Rob. I would have had trouble
    sleepin'. :)

    When you said "8", I pulled out the invoice. Though I don't remember
    seeing 8, I was billed for them. So I when into the trunk again and
    examined those larger ones. There's no way in hell the kids could have
    put those bolts on without those larger bushings; there are metal
    inserts to prevent the head of the bolt from going through. My
    unfamiliarity with the parts.

    Got another question on "Guttural Noise From Under Carriage" that I'll
    post next. Would appreciate comment from you if you have a thought.
    Thanks for your help.

    note the long metal "collars" on 4 of them. those are the lowers that the
    bolts go up thru.
