    Are These Strut Rod Bushings Shot ?

    Getting ready to replace my repop rear spring with restored original and noticed the drivers side strut rod bushings are not looking to good. Do they need to be replaced?

      I don't think these are original-type bushings. Also, the "caps" seen on the inboard bushing ends don't appear to be original-type, either. I'd replace them with stock-type parts.

          Thanks Joe,
          I've been looking through the archives and appears GM still sells the bushings ? Does GM still offer the service replacement strut rods ?

              The strut rods are no longer available from GM but are available in reproduction. The bushings are GM #3775762.

                  Is this the small or big head bushing?

                      Small. These were used from 1963 to 1974.
