I can get stock for upper, which is the way to go I guess, according to Stang site post Iv'e read. Lowers don't seem to be available stock rubber. Still checking. When I get time, I'll call my wholesale speed wharehouse.

Speed warehouse is expensive

IIRC you can get lowers in rubber.

The uppers do need to be rubber because they need to give. Especially if we install a panhard bar later on. But if there isn't a huge cost difference between poly and rubber for the lowers poly would be better.

Concur, or rather defer.

Around the same as Summit on most stuff, just local pick up makes it easy for me. My normal wholesale suppliers don't sell the non-stock stuff. And don't have listings on the lowers.

Got the upper bushings on the way. Ran into a little snag on one of the upper trailing arms.


The one on the left is ginked up. The hole is not round. Do we have the extra set from the donor car?

I have a idea. It might be able to save it. Just wanted to check before I spent the extra time.
