Suspension problem, blown bushing

Well, I've done a few searches but all I can seem to find is info on Urethane Sway Bar Bushings.

What I have here is a blown suspension bushing but it's "that thing at the top of the strut." I think it's part #10 here.

Now, I have a full copy of the Repair Manual but it's search button is even worse than this forums. Can anyone tell me if I just need to grab a part from the dealership/parts car, or am I going to have to really get into some heavy repairs here?

Also, incase it helps, the only thing that broke was basically the round rubber thing... which now makes my strut fall out of place when I jack up my car.

My poor car.

I think you'll have better luck if you search strut mount.

That'd be it. I'd just replace both front strut mounts.

Rats. Both means I need to pay twice as much as one.

Thanks for the help guys. I think it should be a piece o cake to swap these buggers out now... *starts leafing through the 7 volumes of the repair manuel...*
