What strut bushings to use?

Wally-T said

Hello again guys. I'm going to replace the strut rod bushings on my 64 Valiant. RockAuto has two types, a one piece or a two piece kit. I'm thinking that the one piece will be tough to squeeze in without tearing them up, even with grease,maybe they'll pop in easy before they're crushed though. On the other hand I can't see how the two piece bushings will centre properly.
Any suggestions? Thanks, WallyView attachment 1715566957View attachment 1715566958

A two piece will be easier to install, but you are correct that this particular two piece may not center properly.
Given the choices of the two shown here, I'd go with the one piece design.
@autoxcuda has a photo of various replacements showing some that are clearly better designed for the specific application.
