    Just an update, I replaced both bushings was pretty straight forward. Took me about an hour but I also cleaned out a lot of dirt. If anyone is thinking they have to replace them go for it. My mount was very sloppy, both bushings were damaged, but the rear pivot brackets where good.  I had the parts so I replaced anyways, the mount is very solid now doesn't move at all.

     

    New:

    bushings

    pivot brackets

    bolts

    set screws.

    Well done. Did you film it for a you tube vid? Would have been popular.

    I took some pictures. It was actually pretty straight forward.
