Can anyone provide a manufacturer and part number for the poly strut rod bushings that look similar to the factory ones on a 72 Swinger? Looking for the 2 piece, not the MP one piece. The only photos I can find are of the prothane and another brand, but they are not the flat ones, they are kind of cone shaped which is not really what I want. I think Energy syuspension may make what I am looking for, but can't find any stock photos of them. If anyone has any info, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
Brian

That is what I want. Good description BTW, all I could come up with is a couple black pancakes which doesn't decribe them very well. I will check it out. Thanks!

If you want to retain a stock look and get the positive caster back for your car. We just developed an adjustable strut rod that you can install in about an hour that will do both. Here is some info:

NEW FOR MOPARS – Developed by DIXIE RESTORATION PARTS

ADJUSTABLE STRUT RODS FOR A, B, & E, BODIES

“ GET YOUR CASTER BACK”

OVER ONE INCH OF ADJUSTMENT TO GET BACK THE CASTER LOST BY INSTALLING POLYGRAPHITE OR POLYURETHANE ON SOME APPLICATIONS.

“BENEFITS”

* “NEW” MADE FROM VERY HIGH STRENGTH ¾ INCH MATERIAL
* UP TO 5 TIMES STRONGER THAN STOCK RODS
* MADE TO PERCISION SPECS., FOR STOCK LOOK AND FIT “ JUST LIKE FACTORY RODS”
* NO NEED FOR OFFSET UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS
* NO NEED TO BUY EXPENSIVE AFTER MARKET ARMS WITH HIEMS ENDS
* EASY TO INSTALL
* MADE IN THE USA BY CERTIFIED CAR NUTS TO ENSURE HIGH QUALITY

For you guys running larger than stock wheel tire combos, the forces exerted on your suspension during cornering is much greater with larger tires/wheels than the stock strut rods were designed for. These improved rods will easily handle those forces and allow for a more stable car at high speeds if you desire to adjust it as such.

If you want more info, call us or email us and we'll be glad to help. We sold out of all the ones we brought to both Carlisle and the Nats. You can use any brand bushing you want.

Thanks,
Randy
