Thanks Nicklas Yes, That is correct for a Hemi Car Bob

We just did a slant six Duster that had them also. I've pulled apart many original A,B and E bodies over the decades that had these as well, rather random applications, not all vehicles seemed to have these installed.... perhaps it was plant/vendor specific? or a later production revision?.....

yes, factory as has been said, across all body styles and random examples. sometimes on both front bushings, sometimes only one. several FSM's refer to these as for heavy duty taxi or police. i made a bunch of these many, many years ago, because they weren't available. i forget what i did with the blueprints, but if a guy has a lathe, they are a snap to make.

I don't believe those are spacers. They are retainers (or as the parts manual puts it "sleeve, arm locking") for the control arm bushing.
