I need to take the time a little later to reply to everyone BUT on a side side side (side?) note and so as to not revive a dead thread itself:
How to install front shock upper bushings? 68 Dart
in this thread.... are they... confusing strut ROD (the lower control arm in to k-member) bushings with strut/shock absorber upper mounting bushings (mount on the top of your shock absorber itself to the strut towers)? They keep referencing 1 vs 2 piece and puck design but wasn't that for the different length strut rods with either fine or course threads and different bushing length spacing on the strut RODS?
I went to adjust my shocks a few weeks ago and noticed when I took off the currently installed two piece and crummy looking bushing, that there was a large radius in the hole of the shock tower that had no bushing and could move around, maybe 1/4" in all directions. I don't like this one bit.... and everything about this car from the previous owner was either done incorrectly, poorly, or not at all.
From that, are either of the parts on classic industries the ACTUAL part that I (and other forum post user) am looking for?
MD2197 - 1951-76 Dodge/Plymouth; Shock Absorber Grommet; Various Models; Each
MN38100 - 1964-74 Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth; Upper Shock Absorber Bushings; Pair
Based off the diagram in the FSM and in the forum link, it looks like the second link posted above should be the proper bushings?
Every time I go to look anything up I keep getting met with strut ROD bushings and I know those are not the ones I'm looking for
