Strut Rod Bushing Question for '72 Duster
I am rebuilding the suspension on my '72 Duster and have a question about the strut rod bushing. The bushing I received in my kit is not like the bushing I pulled out of the car (see picture for the new bushing). I have a few questions about this bushing:
1. Is this the right bushing?
2. What is the orientation of the bushing (taper to control arm side of k-frame or pointing towards the front of the car)?
3. From which side of the car do you insert this bushing?
4. What is the correct direction for the washers (I have done a lot of searching on this and there seems to be a lot of disagreement).
5. I've read that there are different washers for aftermarket and OEM bushings. Since this does not look like the original bushing, does that mean it's aftermarket and I have to get new washers too?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
