Rear Shackle Mounts

chivic55 said

Thanks a lot. I got them out today but my bushings are the wrong size. I bought them for a 66. The bushings I ordered are 1 1/2,mine are 2” in the front. Someone must have changed the springs I guess. Would the shackle bushings be the same? I’m not sure what to do.

Remember the Yellow Pages phrase: "Let your fingers do the walking"?

I recently had a set of leafs rebuilt for a '71 VG Valiant (an Aussie car) by a local spring/suspension shop, and I ran into the same issue (different size bushings and bolts than what was "supposed to be there"). Turns out they had all of the bushings I needed in-stock, and with the exact same part numbers as what you find online.

If you find a good shop, they'll have what you need, as there really aren't that many different bushings out there.
