It's probably there to give a rounded edge to the hole. Do you have an Ace? Mine has all kinds of specialty stuff like bushings you could adapt.. I was just there yesterday for some grade 9 washers. I hate buying hardware because I've got so much already

I always found St. Regis hoses work for this. Nothing special with those. Slider type calipers. Be sure your bleeder is at the top when you do it. (I know. Duh. Just adding that)

69 RR. Lots of concentric ones.. Steering Column Poker. I'll see your bent and raise you a cut. (I have no idea why. Everything look original otherwise.)

Reporting back on post 10 and 33 while my clothes are in the dryer going round and round. As stated, I replaced the original UCAs due to condition with OE style that came with ball joints and bushing preinstalled. (Thought I was being smart.) Having replaced an A body UCA years ago I should have...

I'm beginning to wish I had used my F body spindles instead of my A body ones. Who knows? This is a PITA. The original arms were too rusty and those things that are supposed to be threads were not really present. This should be archived. There is also that famous earlier article by you know who...

I'm in the middle of this right now. With "new" OE type upper control arms and standard bushings, I was only getting 1 degree positive caster and 1 to 2 degrees negative camber. Any more positive caster and the camber went more negative for street use per the chart. I'm installing the 4 off set...

It looks like @gkent isn't facing a different issue at all. One CAN'T (or shouldn't) have to pull the upper mounting ears together for currently available aftermarket shocks If one does, guess what happens. The ears hit the shock. Particularly the aft ear. That is what I may be seeing in the...

A sacrificial washer preferred as needed. Sometimes we are stuck with the least bad option.

Sure. I you have an OE shock and bothered to read Larry Sheperd......or looked at the research. I just got back from ACE and have a fix other than previously mentioned.

I'm fighting this right now. Too short. The ears will have to "bend" to meet them. And I'm not happy about the teeth. Going to modify some way and let it rotate on a new bolt with lock nuts. The last thing I want to do is damage the car mountings. (Think air shocks.) I know may not be ideal but...

Here's a selection from the bowels of the interweb today. As seen, the style varies. One type seems to be no teeth with rubber bushing and metal sleeve contacting the mounting ears. I ordered the current replacement rubber bushing for the FRONT inner fender mount this week from one of our MOPAR...

We have pictured here the vintage Gabriel (replacement?) rear shock that came off the car. And a new Gabriel shock (82132) that is listed for a '"classic" car. It seems to me that the upper mount (pictured) should be able to move as the angle changes between it and the lower axle mounting stud...

None of the above do much for me. But I think NY got a good answer.

If you can get this down there use it on everything. It's high pressure, high temp and water proof. It is also compatible with all other greases so using it in prior applications will not be a problem. You will actually save money buying only one type of grease. Valvoline makes a green synthetic...

Don't beat your self up. When I was working with a disable wife getting in a rush and effing up was standard practice. I'm retired and if I rush still make mistakes. I just spent 1000 dollars on a leather recliner that I didn't really need because of a mistake. I can use it, sure. But....long...

Last USA Moog I got were from Ehrenberg via ebay. NOS? IDK. But hard parts I like to buy local over the counter to see them in hand. Order at auto store. Unfortunately that my not be an option for the OP.:(

I hope this is one of those 1 in 10,000 cases. I've never had any service issue with poly LCA bushing. I uses them in daily drivers and uncounted miles. One car for 25 years. Rubber does fail as well. Quality on everything isn't was it used to be. I try and get USA made Moog. Just as an example.

Firm Feel.

If you are rebuilding it. If you are not it's still compatible with what's in there.

Yes, gear oil will leak because that's not what is supposed to be in them. They came with grease in them and gear oil was to "service" them. I've rebuilt them which is basically just taking apart and cleaning them. They are not hard to do . If anyone wants to try. Be very careful and just don't...
