The pictured bushing is the "improved" style. Originals are one-piece.

No, that version of the bushings has the cup facing outward.

made in the USA
Work fine in my A-Bodies

Used those Moog bushings also.
Had a negative out come.
First of all I found them too thick and I believe they tend to push back towards the rear of the car on the LCA's
After approx 10,000 miles started to feel/hear a clunking noise when applying the brakes. After looking around discovered that the bushings were breaking apart/crumbling. As a result I found the one piece bushings and so far no issue. ( Two seasons and lots of miles). Hopefully this is the last time I will replace.
I believe that the one piece bushings are correct for the a body.
Just my opinion and we all have one. LOL

Yes same thing to me with the Moog clunk noise braking when car would finish braking and move back, took me some time to work it out the metal piece in the bush was cracked.

I have a clunking noise I can’t pin down. Any more details on this?

If you have the moog improved strut bush get rid of them. You could try and tighten up the front strut bolt some more.

I was referring to a-body strut rod bushings as they are a one piece bushing originally from the factory. I came to the conclusion that the two piece replacement bushing is too thick. I also believe as a result of the improper size it puts pressure on the LCA towards the rear. I don't think this can be good for the LCA bushings either because if I'm correct its as if the strut rod is now too long. Just my opinion. Hope this helps
