Re: 68 shock absorber hardware?

Joe, I ordered those rubber bushings. The upper one measured about 1.25 and the lower one was the same configuration as a standard rubber shock gromet. Just thought I would let you know. Take care, Terry

That's exactly what they're supposed to look like.

Thanks for the responce. I must of read the thread wrong. I thought the upper rubber washer was suposed to be 1.9 inches diameter. I never know how far to tighten those upper shock mounts? Any advice in that department. I just tighten them untill I think it is good enough not to split the rubber gromets. Thanks, Terry

The upper retainer (washer) is 1.9" OD. The rubber bushing is smaller. It will compress and "flatten out". Tighten the nut as per the instructions in the AIM.
