hey all,

i got a poly suspension kit from springs n things and have been installing it. everything was going smoothly until i got to the strut rod bushings. these are not supposed to be hard to get on, right??
the old ones slid right off, but these ones i had to rubber hammer on to get the center metal piece to even move
this is for a 66 coronet, did they give me the wrong size? or am i missing something?
just want to find out more before i try and return them

thanks for any help

No suspension guys around? Didn't think this would be a very hard question for anyone that has done suspension work

Usually the polys are tight.I didnt install them on my 65 but I did use them on the rear springs and the lower control arms.Did you lube them?That makes them slide on easier.I used RMS adjustable rods with heims. Rocky

I used Firm Feel's urethane strut rod bushings, they have no center piece. They go right on the strut rod. See if yours fit good without the spacer.


Why do I torture myself so?

Yea they fit fine without the spacer, what is the point of it anyway? I don't want to waste effort on the spacer if I don't really need them
