Some strut bushing info

I would suspect that no one has commented because without a part # or a supplier for those bushings the information is pretty much useless.

They haven't made strut rod bushings like that in decades, so, unless you know of someone other than you that has a large supply, there's no way to get them.

As far as your video, I eagerly await it. Just remember to hook up the strut rod first so your little "test" is accurate to what happens when the suspension is fully assembled.

Even with a #PN the poly bushings are useless They thought they were OK and can never admit they are junk. Just think how many lability claims the would have..

These shear sleeve bushings are still out there My in-law who owns a NAPA store just got a set for a friend. When we can't find a part we call him. He knows all the old timers with parts when you need them. If you knew what I am talking about and you are saying they are not available. Then why when I mentioned them in another thread you posted a picture of spacer for the 2 piece strut. Not the shear sleeve. You have been caught ! make up some more stories. You really don't have a clue do you

Some times its better to accept advice then trying to keep making a point that you are totally in the dark on. There are times I am totally wrong . If someone shows me something that I was wrong about I will accept it and admit it. I have been learning these cars for over 50 years . I am still learning but I know what I have seen with my own eyes. I don't have to prove anything to you but I would like to show those who care what I have learned and what I know for fact. I won't be around much longer then who will this site have ? You! LOL

Today we are tearing down a Ed Hamburgers 340. We have saw things he did that were totally wrong. He was always the small block garu in my eyes. He built a strong motor but there were things that he didn't know that I see on this tear down. So even the best could be taught somethings. My son who I taught is now teaching me. There are times we just have to accept advice and learn from others. I would never say I am right about it all. but I will argue until someone shows me different.

I was once on a roof on a latter. The guy that was helping said step on the wood with your left foot he moved the wood . He was facing me he should have said his left foot instead of mine. I fell two floors and broke my back and ribs. Believe none of what you hear and 1/2 of what you see. Remember that advise.
