Since you guys know these parts and related cars much more than I do, are these bushings in the picture correct or at least close to original as it may come?
Two buyers of the product in the last two months have not commented on their fit and or quality. I ask because even though these theoretically are not high pressure load items, the welds seem a little shy as in tack welds. Perhaps the factory produced just as shy a weld on the originals also. LOL.
In either case, if these are indeed the correct types, I will add a small tag weld seam to the corners to make it that much more stronger.

If the K is mounted solid, you can do away with this. I haven't done this to my wagon (yet) as I have a few good used ones available still. For the OP, its best to leave it in place as it does lessen some of the harshness fed back up the column.

Way away from my budget... couldn't expect less from fmmopar, as any other Mopar repro around. That's why I created this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/149414152185365/( yeah well, just somekind of rant ) One more to add to the expensive list I can't afford, like: RCD ( bilstein ) shocks Tuff stuff 100 amps alt Bumper fillers ( except front center ) Headlight fillers and grilles ( not satisfied yet with headlight fillers repros yet thought ) Can't recall what else...

Coronet and Charger are a diff monsters.
Between Coronets, and thinking they could be similar to Chargers all 71/73 should be somehow interchangeable from exterior ( aside 71 sidemarkers ) but actually every year is 1 year only setup because radiator core support differences due the frame rails changes and isolation systems... it seems ridiculous, but the isolation changed a bit the fenders too due the frame rail changes.
