As I will be installing a 8.5 axle soon, at the same time I want to exchange the rubber bushings of the control arms with new ones. For the rear I want to stick with rubber. If it makes a difference: My lower control arms are boxed and have a stabilizer bar. Stupid me, I am not able to find the appropriate replacements. Can somebody help me out with e lead, or even better a link to the right product @ summit racing. I am about placing a bigger order with them so it would be convinient to do a one stop shopping. Thanks
See if these measure up correctly, https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=356242&cc=1379763&jsn=409 https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...8,1379763,suspension,control+arm+bushing,7532
I bought Moog K5161's for my rear lower control bushings.Was told they were the same for the ones on the upper housing position as well. I am awaiting to get my control arms back from being blasted and will install them then.
That # sounds familiar,..what's your plans for the car? There are better options for more aggressive driving
I will go hybrid Polygraphite for the front and rubber for the rear. Rubber because it will dampen drivetrain noise (axle booming,....), whereas poly will transmitt the noise straight into the cab. Well, I guess I remove one arm each in order to measure. Tried to avoid that because I am about loosing sight with all the "construction sites" I have in parallel ongoing with the car. Probably that is just the way it is when working on a 50 year old car.
I have a complete set of 8 PST polygraphite bushings if you want them. $50 for the set plus shipping.
I bought new rear upper control arms from Todd on here because I didn’t want to go through the trouble of removing the old bushings. That being said, I also bought the Moog 5161’s for the axle “ears”. Got them off of rockauto.com K5161 is the part number. https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/moog,K5161,control+arm+bushing,7532 Kyle
