STRUT ROD BUSHINGS
GM never supplied replacement bushings for the strut rods, but we have been selling these since 1978. It takes several hours and you must remove
the inner sleeve (I suggest new ones). Replacing rubber and nylon bushings really requires a press: the rubber - shell style can be hammered in. Please
consider rebuilt rods on pg. 163. Also see the performance bushing on pg. 167B. Whichever you choose, it will be a great improvement over old, worn,
brittle or swollen bushings! All come with complete instructions.
IF YOUR OUTER BOLTS ARE MORE THAN
5 YEARS OLD – REPLACE! (see #9) and use ONLY our special long nut #13 (page 163).
Molded Rubber Bushing
Only Available in our rebuilt strut rods. See pg. 163 (#14).
RUBBER BUSHINGS – NO SHELL – LOOK STOCK
We suggest Rebuilt Rods – page 163. 4 needed to do both sides – NOT easy.
SET of 2 – C4376A 8 oz./set SET of 4 – C4376 1 lb./set
RUBBER – SHELL
These are steel shelled bushings that easily press into your old struts. These are not
perfect but easier to install. These end up with a slight "tilt" in the rods & do not stick out
the same amount on both sides. Will be slightly off center when installed but use all stock mounting parts.

TORQUE ARM BUSHING
(TRAILING ARM)
Both Styles require press to install bushing.
NEW TORQUE ARM BUSHING: We had our suspension manufacturer retool these to look more original and use a higher
quality rubber. You'll notice a light wax coating on the surface of the rubber like many original bushings. This improves the life
of the rubber. Now you can get a bushing that will perform exactly as the factory designed them to. Sold each.
