well, i finally got my problem solved i THINK. i ordered strut rod bushings for an 80 concord. moog parts, so rubber should be ok. they just pull apart. so pilled the rubber off the metal spacer. trimed the beveled end off of the bushing. cut the little metal spacer ring down the same width as the bushing. the metal sleeve is a little bigger around than the strut rod. i welded that sleve to the stock washers to hold them im place. bolted it all together and so far everything seems to work normal again. the back half of the bushing was not there. the front half was only about half left. i was in a hurry when i did this so i did not get any pics. if anyone is interested in pics, i can get some when i do the right side. as of right now, the right side bushing is still just "ok" will be a week or so till i will get around to replacing that one. dave stohler http://picasaweb.google.com/das24rules ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500?
