Rear Shocks Duster - SS Springs

I took the advice from another thread about shock choices with Super Stock Springs. A member suggested 1968 Imperial Shocks for the extra travel.

I stupidly took this advice without checking it out further and bought some KYB. They do not fit as they have a metal insert bonded in the top mounting which is to small for the Original Duster mounting bolt.

I tried pressing it out with no luck so called KYB and they said this insert is bonded in place and would be difficult to remove.

Moral of the story don't believe everything you read

Same thing happened to me I took a drill and drilled holes on upper rubber bushing then grabbed pliers and twisted/ripped them out and I used my old upper bushings they fit right into the new upper Kyb hole mount.... If your old upper busing is one piece grab a wood saw and saw straight down old rubber bushing and use it as a two piece EASY :D :cheers::sign12:
