Your local GM dealer should be able to get them for you. It has been a few years since I did mine but they were less than $10 each (actually I think they were closer to $5).

z,

You might do a search before you buy from GM--"seems" to me that I read the current rears are really from fourth gen cars and make the rear sit up too high.

Check the following link:

Hit "Next" at the bottom of the pic and you'll see the isolators in better dimensions.

As I recall, the car sat up high enough that Ed pulled them and reinstalled the old ones. All this from memory--and I'm an old fart, so take what I say with a grain of salt!
