Front upper shock bushing
« on: August 18, 2015 - 02:26:03 AM »
Hi,

The '73 challenger is now extremely close to being registered!! I need help to track down replace the front upper shock bushings, as in the photo below. As far as I can tell, all of the steering/bushings are reasonably old and could do with replacing, but I need to front upper shock bushings particularly.

Should the replacement be rubber, or polyurethane, what would people recommend?

If I have to purchase a large kit, I don't require any sway bar bushings, the original sway bars have been replaced by hotchkiss units, all the rest of the steering/suspension looks original.

As always, thanks in advance, this forum is a life savour!

Thank you for the posts Brad and anlauto, but eBay and Energy Suspension can't compete with Roseville Moparts' quality of service!
