My 75 Finally Gets The Attention It Deserves(This Could Take a While)

Thanks Mattax. Your comment about polyurethane for the sway bar end links reinforces what I was thinking. Everything else will be OEM style rubber. The upper control arm bushings were replaced with factory parts the year the engine died, so they haven’t seen much actual use. But I have to wonder what sort of toll thirty years of sitting in my parents driveway has taken on them. I’ll likely replace them just because. As for the decline in the quality of parts, yes, I’ve noticed. I was going to replace the transmission mount since the rubber had completely failed, but the metal on the new part was half the thickness of the original and poorly made. I ended up just replacing the insert instead and did the same with the engine mounts.
