RE: {Chrysler 300} 1958 300 Upper Control Arm Bushings



John,

 

I had a lot of trouble installing my control arm bushings. The OD was a few thou larger than they should be. What I noticed was they the tooling used to make the bushings left a very slight ridge on the outer case at four or five points. Look out for that. I ended up filing the ridges off and then dressing the surface on my polisher. I also had to chamfer the control arm at the end so that they would press in. It was still a VERY hard press but they went in.

I had to go to a napa locally owned store and they had them. It did take 3 times to get the right parts.  Very frustrating because my alignment guy took the car apart and my D tied up his lift for 3 weeks. Usually the locally owned stores still have the books to physically look up the part numbers and cross reference them

Thanks John

 

They only have the smaller diameter ones .93 inch  as opposed to 1.03 inch for the bigger cars

Does anybody sell new Control Arm Bushings for a 1958 300

Looks like the ones for sale on-line are older replacement parts

My concern is the rubber on these unused older bushings is probably deteriorating
