    I'm thinking of replacing the old rubber suspension bushes in my riviera with nolathane items.
    Is it worth it?
    Also, the website I was browsing for the bushes did not list the riviera, is there another car out there with the same suspension setup?
    Might look at replacing the shocks and springs in it too, is there a recommended parts dealer to use? I'm in New Zealand, so a kiwi or aussie place would be perfect but not a must.

    cheers for your help

    Monroe Sens-a-trac has a specific application for your car. I know many guys who are more than satisfied with the ride they give.

    Track bar bushings are available and the same part number for a lot of years beyond '65. The trailing arm bushings are what are hard to find. I think an ROA member took orders for a bunch of them a couple of years ago and had some made, but that's the last I've heard of any.
