Default Front Shock Rattle

Does anyone know if I can purchase just the bushing on top of the front shock absorber or do I need to buy a whole new shock? What is the proper term to use when attempting to order said bushing?

Sorry, it's a 98 Disco not sure what type of shocks they are but I assume their stock. She has a little over 20,000 miles on her.

Only 20,000 on her that is great. What do you use the truck for, do you have any plans to lift her?
You are in a gray area, a normal D1 with normal mileage should get all new shocks and coils, you really don't have enough miles to replace the shocks yet, unless you wanted to improve the ride, so I would call the Dealer and see if they sell just the upper bushings.

Its my daily driver and occasional fire road, muddy puddle plower etc. I do not plan to lift her or modify it at all. I plan to drive it for the next 20 years and give it to my first born child. Thanks for the replies.

Ordered from Jake Kaplans in Warwick RI. They only come in packages of ten though so I'll have extras if anyone needs some.
