Strut rod bushings for 1972 A-body

It's old. Also, its true that offset UCA bushings are not usually needed for correct alignment. They are needed when you need exceed the factory range.

"The 73 and up strut rods have a shorter flange to flange length and require a thicker two piece strut rod bushing with a sleeve . 72 and back are one piece usually but two piece are available without the sleeve.

An easy way to tell what rods you have is the 73 up have a coarse thread in the front the 72 and back are fine thread in the front."

This why its important to have the set with the correct inner diameter / sleeve and stack up lengths.

I just ran out to the garage and verified my strut rods have the coarse threads up front. Odd since its a 1967. So I have the 73 and up style then.
So, reading your post, I'm supposed to have a sleeve in there but when I took this apart, it didn't. Also, the new kit didn't come with one. This sucks with how confusing it all is. I think I'm seeing why some folks just gut the front end and go all aftermarket.
As far as the alignment goes, exceeding the factory requirements happens when you go to radials. I'm definitely never running bias ply tires.
