Easy fix, no need to remove cowl.

PS: Do a search on it, more info on replies to my post about a week ago.

O'Reilly Auto Stores, pack of 5 for about 6 bucks. Not the easiest to replace though unless you have small hands. The rear ones are really tough unless you take the whole IMRC motor assy. loose. Mine was the front one and was the easiest to replace.

After replacing the bushing, the CEL stayed on for about 3 days and then shut off and has not returned. I didn't want to disconnect the battery to clear the code and don't own a scan tool to do it.
