[Amc-list] newer Strut Rod Bushings and more

[James Shadwick <idahoAMX@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK..Guys....
Just  finished replacing the upper control arm bushings and the lower 
spring seats on my 73 Matador...what a job.....Note....if you replace 
the upper spring seat make sure it is in place before you put the spring 
assy. back together.....also if you are using one of Gary Jacobs spring
compressors make sure you grease it up really good as the all thread rod 
he used is
a little soft and the threads will peal off some if you don't.....ask me 
how I know....

Anyway my real question....The replacement Strut rod bushing have a one 
piece metal insert ....factory metal inserts are two piece and have an 
outer lip and do not seem
to come together when installed.....Which is better?????...IF I use the 
one piece
insert should I tighten it until the insert is tight against  the nuts????

Thanks,
Jim
