Re: [Amc-list] Replacing strut-rod bushing



There's some really high tech pieces out there for sixties Mustangs.
It would be great if you could get a manufacturer to retool to built one of those for Ramblers.
Problem with the ones out there I looked into is they are designed to be under pull as Mustangs strut bushings are fore mounted. You can't use the ford pieces as-is. You would be placing the load in a reverse to the design.
