Cushion pads???
I've used every search word I know to locate on Snyders the rubber cushion pads that go between the frame and the body. Mine are a bit worn and need replaced. What exactly are they called?
Thanks

Re: Cushion pads???
Unfortunatly, I have not found a supplier for correct rubber pads. The originals had fabric moulded in for strength, and the replacements are just rubber, which will squish out over time.

Re: Cushion pads???
I believe these are what I'm looking for. Some have become brittle too.

Re: Cushion pads???
You can buy small rolls of reinforced rubber belting at tractor supply or agricultural supply stores (Tractor Supply). Its about 3/16" thick, and inexpensive. You can use your old ones for patterns, and cut your own. I bought a 5 inch wide roll and have had good results.

Re: Cushion pads???
Could you not be opening up a can of worms? you're going to have to loosen body bolts to get the new rubbers in and if door and hood alignment good now it may not be after due to increased thickness of whatever you use. JMO FWIPaul in CT

Re: Cushion pads???
I have taken that into consideration. Something needs to be corrected because of the 'THUD' I get from the driver's side rear when I hit a bump. I thought a new shock would alleviate it because the old shock had lost its seal and wouldn't keep fluid topped off any longer. Nice flat surface, no problem but country roads is quite 'thudish'.

Re: Cushion pads???
What else could be causing the 'thud'?
