Today I noticed alot of slop between the swivel bracket and the mount bracket. Ive included pic and link to video. Is there a bushing or something I need to replace? I looked at parts diagram but only saw a bushing at the top of swivel.

The upper motor mounts are shot and has wore the swivel pin. The mounts need replaced and maybe the pin also.

Well oddly enough, the upper mounts are tight without slop at all. Its just at the bottom that it is loose. What I fail to see on any parts diagram is a part to replace. I mean it shows an upper bushing but not a lower bushing.
