Your springs probably came with new front eyelet bushing... You can get new for the shackle just about anywhere... I order Energy Suspension from the local Autozone

  I have a set of new Rubber shackle bushings purchased from NAPA I'll send you for $30.

I will have to get me a set for mine also. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development
