Default Tire carrier bushings

Maby this forum can help me.
I have a 97 Blazer LS 2 door that has the spare tire mounted on a hinged rack that swings out like a door at the rear of the car.

The problem is the bushings are worn and this rack makes a lot of noise.

Where can I find new replacement bushings?
Are they control arm bushings?

The dealer parts counter might be the best bet.

It looks like there are two bushings per bracket (#11 and #26)

11 - 12546658 BUSHING SPA WHL CARR UPR PIV PIN ST1(16) (P16) 95-05 - 2
26 - 12546658 BUSHING SPA WHL CARR LWR PIV PIN ST1(06-16) (P16) 95-05 - 2

Here's a list of the parts with a link to purchase them
1996 Chevrolet Blazer 4WD Spare Wheel Carrier, /Outside RR Mounted - TS0751501L43MW2T10516

Yes that looks like what I need.
two of each (11 & 26) should do, Thanks mdehoogh.
Any tips on removing the old ones.

Most likely they are plastic and just slide it. I can't see why they would be a press fit but gm has done funnier things

i just had this same problem like 3 weeks ago, its just little plastic bushings, like 18$ each i think? its easier to do if you have like a table vice or something to hold it while you smack out the old ones

are these compatiable with the older style of spare tire carriers? i have 92 and the pin retainers have mysteriously disappeared and ive lost the bottom bushings. i keep getting the 12546658 part number but not sure if it works with my application.

They are just plastic and push out fairly easily. My local dealership wants $14 each for a .05 piece of plastic! Even GMPARTSDIRECT wants $47 for all 4 shipped! Going to look for other options first.

Thank you for posting it here.
You're welcome

The link further up has specific part numbers and you can also find a lot of other diagrams. It's easier than calling the parts desk or getting a printout of it from the dealer

Unless there some weird detail in them anybody with a lathe (metal or wood turning) should be able to knock out 4 plastic bushings in minutes.
