I just recently did my bushings, my number 7 was rusted through.
I just fabricated a couple of plates and brackets and it is holding up excellent

What a differance in ride quality..

Do it yourself. Nice and slow.... It's worth it.

It sounds like you have a problem that stems from battery acid that had spilled onto the core support rather than just rust?

In either case, seems like a good solution would be to replace the core support.
