Need upper A Arm bump stops for '60 Plym. Catalogs only seem to go back to '65 or so. looks like they are the button shaped ones from what is left of them vs the real pointy ones. What are the recomendations?

I believe that the OE part number was 1825 314. That shows up in a kit offered by Mopar Mall

Summit and Danchuk show similar bump stops

The Mopar Mall link above leads to a 20 piece set for the 'A' body cars - Valiants and Lancers

The Fury, Belvedere and Savoy cars were 'C' body cars -

The link below points to the 'C' body 32 piece kit (though the drop down does not list Plymouth as an option) -

At this point I don't think I need the big kit. Looks like, hopefully, the bump stops & Upper and lower A arm bushings only.

Quirey Quality Design should have them. You can call them or check the number in the old Gary Goers catalog.

I was surprised that the drawing showed a bullet bra/cone shaped piece. The one that's fairly intact on mine is a button style about 1 5/8" across and 1 1/8 high.

Just a thought: Perhaps the diagram is correct and at sometime in the past your car's bump stops were replaced with non-OE stops?

There must be somebody with a 59-61 who can confirm/deny the cone shape was OE (or not).

Have to look for the OE ones. Sill have them, somewhere. I replaced my with taller polys, since I wanted to limit my suspension travel, to reduce stress for the bushings, especially the sway bar bushings, when the car is jacked up.

Unless your engine can lift the front end, so the tires lose contact during acceleration, I recommend using taller/tougher rebound bumpers. The strut rod twists the lca bushing during suspension travel, it's ok for the normal up and down during driving, but not when the wheels are hanging down. For that reason I modded the dront suspension, so the sway bar (not the OE one) is also the strut rod, with a special bushing.

Interestingly enough..with the wheels off the driver's side has a gap of just under an inch, the passenger side has zero gap.

Interestingly enough, Back on the ground both sides have about 2" clearance. The 2" or higher obviously won't work, so I guess the 1 1/4 1 1/2 ones will be the ones.
