" I'm trying to get front coil spring perches,the bushings are worn/old
shot
and the perch is shifting to the side
 
 all '70-'83 amc front ends except the pacer are the same.  you can
 raid any of them for perches; you might even be able to find them new.
 
New spring perch bushings are not available; all of the old ones are
junk, don't bother with them.
 
However it's easy to rebuild them; John Elle worked out a solution, I
put a copy of it here:

Considering that the parts cost on these is under $10.00 bucks my
thoughts on the $155.00 cost is that it is a bit more than stiff but
what they heck!
I have 30,000 miles on one set and assorted mileage on others and have
done about a dozen of them locally here and about to do 2 more when I
rebuild the parts for the two Hornets I have an am working on. If you
are not able to do these yourself, pay for shipping both directions and
send them out to me and I will rebuild them and send them back for
$70.00. Final finish is yours to do but I will sandblast the parts and
clean them nicely. 
I put this together a few years back as an economical alternative to
unobtanium components. I guess I did not see that some one would pirate
the idea and others would pay through the nose for them. I guess that is
why I am not a crook or rich. 
John.
