Steering column mounting bushings? - 05/18/12 04:35 AM

My '72 Dart (and probably many other Mopars) has three rectangular white plastic bushings that are between the steering column and the dash bracket. Mine have crumbled from age/heat/use. I've tried to find them online but don't even know what they are called... can someone point me to a source (dealer?) or at least the part number?
thanks
Charles

Think I found mine at RT specialties. Don't remember what they are called though and out of town so can't check the invoice.

Thanks, I'll try my local dealer. Several places sell them at prices ranging from $3.50 to $8.50 each but then they want $12 for UPS shipping. Which is ridiculous since the postage would be about a buck to just mail three of them in a bubble envelope.

Just received 2 sets from Rick Ehrenberg - he has them in his ebay store.

Available from my local Dodge Jeep dealer, $4.70 each and no excessive shipping charges tacked on. They have 12 in the St. Louis warehouse and will have three for me tomorrow morning
