Re: [Amc-list] 62 classic shock bushings



Have you looked at prothanes website for suitable pieces?
A second thought is perhaps swaybar link bushings?
Link bushings are probly to small.
Third thought, go to a pick-a-part and look for a vehicle with urethane in place and take them and leave the shocks, Jeeps, Buicks, Mustange Firechickens etc; all have used poly buchings at one time or another.
Fourth thought is that urethane can be turned on a lathe if you can only find bushings that are  "close" . Buy them and have them turned or you can do some sizing changes with a drill press, sandpaper and patience
