When purchased, both of our 92s had serious corrosion in the rear mounts.
Gordon,

Curious, do you happen to have the old parts that were removed? If so, do you see a bearing part # somewhere? Perhaps it's not worth the trouble of replacing the bearing but I was simply curious.

All four of my mounts probably need to be replaced so I was trying to see if I can save a little coin!

Cheers.
