Tell me about it. I had to replace the rubber hanger in the ZJ. They
don't make the original part but they have a "newer better one". That
means it doesn't fit. Well, it does if you take a sharp knife to
the darn thing and use a drill to open up the holes a bit more.

The 95 has a glorified oversized rubber band that the hanger pin fits
in. That all fit perfectly but kept allowing the aftermarket catback
whack the rear axle on heavy bumps. There is a cavity at the bottom of
the rubber hanger where a cut neoprene suspension bushing fits like a
charm, and stays surprisingly well in place with just contact cement.
