Title: Upper & Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit
Post by: dannystarr on January 22, 2022, 05:47:31 AM

Been searching through MANY pages looking for an OE style control arm bushing kit. Most are gold or urethane. Or come with MANY items I don't need. Just want upper and lower bushing kit. What has everyone been using for the most stock looking RUBBER kit. Thanx... Danny

The original style upper bushings have about 1/4 of rubber extending beyond the steel sleeve on the small side, and the finish is phospate or the like - grayish.
The uppers were painted along with the cross shaft, the A-ARM, the outer LARGE washer, bolt, and lock washer as an assembly, so mainly look to ensure the rubber extends from the steel sleeve to be correct.
