Does anyone know a generic part that is interchangeable with the
BUMPER-CARRIER (part number 57291-44000)?
See Item number 34 on illustration:

Thanks,

Try steele rubber products under suspension parts. There are several chassis rubber plugs that may fit the bill.

Do you have a photo (and measurements) of the actual plug?
Thanks, in advance...I have nt been able to find one on the World Wide Web.

Tell us what worked.
The axel on the carriers get worn and elongated the hole so either fix the holes and get new
rubber or use a spacer/base under the
rubber to make it squish hard so the bloody spare will stop squeaking/rattling.

Here is a photo of an original 1967 plug:
1-1/20" high (from mounting surface to crown)
1-1/10" wide (at base)
I was not able to remove the mounting stem, so I do not have the dimensions.
Naturally, 47 year old
rubber shrinks, so I am not certain of the original dimensions.
Please post photos of your contemporary replacement part.
Thanks,
Keith

The mounting stud is approx. 1/2" long and its 10×32 thread pitch.

All I can say is "very nice".
This is the closest I have found off-the-shelf.
Are you planning to offer any for sale/trade?
