Front suspension: Strut Rod Bushings
« on: May 16, 2016 - 08:00:25 PM »
Rebuilding the front suspension on the A66 Challenger.
Using Moog parts from Summit.


What is the difference between K7026 and K 7016A on the Strut Rod Bushings?

Both are listed for the 70 Challenger. They look identical but the 7026 has a metal sleeve. Are these more heavy duty, or is the sleeve a normal part connected to the strut bushings?

Comments appreciated.

There are actually two metal sleeves molded into the K7026 bushing, the inner & the ring that locates the bushing in the K.... Much better design, pay the extra $$$

Take Wilds advice, wish I'd had known this when I did my front end.

Good advice.  I ordered the K7026 bushings

I'm also glad to hear that, as I just ordered the front end stuff for mine, too!  :cheers:

Looks like a big improvement over the factory design for strut bushings
