Lower Control Arm Pivot Shaft Bushing

[Dfr360cuda]

So I'm rebuilding the front end on my Cuda
I got the PST Super FE Kit
I'm not sure about one of the parts
Where do the bushings on the right go ?
I didn't take any out

Part number 64140

I think the ones on the left are the inner shells,your original inner shells need to be pressed out first.then the ones one the right press or slide into them and then the pins go in.
There should be an instruction sheet in the packaging or if in doubt, call the guys at pst.

The new bushings can go in your original shells also, if the rubber is all out of them.

Not to hijack but I read Poly LCA Bushings are known to slip out is this true?

 

[Dfr360cuda]

Didn't get one

They can't slip out because they are between the A arm and the frame. (well the pin shoulder actually)

They pretty much slip in though.

When i got my kit ( not PST) some time ago, they wanted you to use the existing shells. The kit shown would give you the option of replacing the shells. Dont know it they are different. You could probably still just clean the guts out of your old ones and put the poly in if they are in good shape.
Ive seen lots of posts saying they had problems with the poly moving, and several that said they worked fine. I decided to go with the original rubber style even though i changed everything else to poly.

The poly bushings CAN slip some, changing alignment slightly. The LCA is the one bushing that is recommended to stay with rubber when going poly.

They can slip till the clip on the rear of the torsion bar stops it. or at least till the bushing on the strut rod takes up any slack. MT

I guess I shoulda did the research first.
I thought they might have been a bushing that went thru the frame... My bad
The mythical instruction sheet would've come in handy too.
The preceding postings and past postings provided great help.
I used the original style bushings, they seemed a lot more rugged.
Thanx

We offer both styles of pivot shafts the OE style and the greasable. In your first post the picture is of the greasable style. The pivot shafts themselves are actually larger in diameter at the base then a stock oe pivot shaft ( meaning the portion that goes into the control arm) This was done so you do not need the inner shell from your original bushing. We supply the outer shell because of cases where the outer shell of your original bushing is damaged during removal of the old rubber.

Thanks

I didn't get the greasable shaft.
I used that pic from your website because it showed both bushings.
I used a gear puller to push the old shaft out.
The shaft and inner sleeve came out together intact.
Old rubber then came out without burning it out.
Shell came out with a wafer wheel, die grinder and chisel.
