Default Blown out

Hey guys, I was greasing up my chassis yesterday and noticed I had something like a rubber stopper that was completely blown out (I wish I got a picture now, it's pouring cats and dogs). If you were to stick your head up underneath the front passenger side, there are some sort of bushing right under the blinker light and its on the frame where this part is blown out, dry rotted, or something. Looks to be a body mount but I'm not quite 100% sure. I'm trying to find an underneath picture as if someone was standing below the front on a lift but no luck.

I've got to order my balljoints and new tierods today so they can get here by this weekend too, so the quicker the better!!!!

Thanks

I see. Now those are the guys that get replaced when you put on a body lift, right?

I am going somewhere with this, and I hope it's not a dead end!

Sadly no those don't get replaced with a BL unless you buy them and install them at the same time as the BL
