*From 1969 on the front a-arm bushings were vulcanized on to the arm at the factory, there are aftermarket polyurethane bushings available for these arms however we have found that the replacement bushings to be noisy and inconsistent in the way that they fit.We do however have a factory style replacement bushing available, however it will require access to a press to install them. We have found these factory style replacement to work well and will restore the suspension to the original condition.
