Street/Mostly Strip Front Suspension
Well I went and took some pictures of some differences and the shear sleeves. The first picture is of a worn rubber without the sleeve. The second picture is of one with the shear sleeve,
Note the first picture the rubber is worn but still there. Poly nipple would be totally chewed up and gone.
The second 2 pictures are with the sleeve. They are the best strut bushings you can install. That sleeve fits tight in the K-member and never shears because it is a metal sleeve molded in the bushing.
The male side of the bushings always go in from the front
The next pictures are of early 72 and older The OEM is a one piece. The other one is a 2 piece for 72 and older. I have some of them from years ago. I like them better then the one piece but they are harder to find today. You cannot use poly bushings with the early strut rods they are not long enough. You need to get the later coarse thread strut rods
