Those sleeves were worthless, and didn't do a darn thing from the git go. Some "engineer" at Chrysler, a long tome ago, got the brilliant idea to have them installed on the rear bushing only, on some 6 cylinder A body cars, and on B body cars, it was hit or miss, what cars got them. I have lots of them in my collection. 8275174-UCARearBushings012(Copy).JPG (47 downloads) RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

No, probably not a crucial component but they are a correct part to include. Anyone running a car they came on through a high end judged event should have them.

Toss em on EBAY Jim...you know lots of folks will pay as much for original parts as they would reproductions. At 2/$49 per car youve got a nice little chunk of change there.

Probably invented by the same guy who invented left hand thread lug nuts for the left side of the car. I am sure he had a PhD and everyone thought he knew what he was doing so they followed him. I have worked for a few like that and eventually they were fired. and...they ditched the LH thread lug nuts.
