Strut Rod Question

[plymouthman72]

I am rebuilding the front suspension on my roadrunner and bought new a whole new bushing kit for the car. My new set did not come with the metal insert for for the strut rod bushings, just the bushings themselves. Do I need those inserts or is the poly bushings not meant to be used with them? My old ones were mangled up so I can not use them and plan to run up to summit for a new set if I do need them. Thanks for the help guys!

Don't forget to use a lot of lube if you are going with all poly. bushings. I would recommend using the OE rubber lower CA bushings. The ride better and won't make noise.

I ended up buying qa1 lower and upper control arms so I am using what came with them. I will make sure they are lubed up though so they don't squeak. Thanks for the advice!

Yes you do need the metal inserts.

Yes you do need the metal inserts.

Thanks so much, I figured I did but wanted to double check. I already have one side on so I will have to redo it.

Yep.
