Re: spring support bushing replacement

["Joe Wyatt" <jwyatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ray, I got a urethane bushing kit from Summit, the kit
(#PTP-1-2011-Bl/$96.00 = included the upper pancake spring bushing) had
everything but the bushing for the lower front spring and shock.  You can
order that one from AutoZone, its the Control Arm Bushing AC# 45G8029/$26
they also list a MOOG #K3059/$11.01.  One thing about the kit from Summit it
came with bushings for both the 2" and 2 1/2" rear springs, also came with
two Sway Bar Bushings one for the 7/8 and one for the 13/16 Bar.

I have just replaced ALL the front suspension, steering, and rear bushings
on my sons 74 Javelin now starting on the 401/1971 Javelin SST I got a few
months ago,  and Here are some of my
sources for all the parts I got.

Ray,

You can search the archives here or go to the AMC
forum site and search under suspension etc.   John
Elle (who used to be a lister here) posted a fix for
the spring support bushings.  He found a bushing which
matches the original dimensions I believe.
