CORRECT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS 68 69 70 B BODY - 01/10/14 08:12 PM

I bought a pair of lower control arm bushings from a local Mopar dealer a while back and was just wondering how correct they are?
These are for 1968 1969 and 1970 B Bodies. I have taken a picture of the markings which are the same on both ends. Does anyone have an old NOS one to compare?
Thanks!

I spotted a pair of NOS lower control arm bushings for sale on EBAY and they have the same print and numbers as mine! That is a good sign of maybe it being correct? The ad also states that they were used from 1966 through 1974 B Bodies and 1970 through 1974 E Bodies.
I would still like to hear from some experts on this.
Thanks!

When you buy new Moog, TRW, or almost whatever brand mopar LCA bushings, they say HARRIS on them.

I suspect there was/is one manufacturer for this particular replacement part.

I do not know if original installed on the assembly line LCA bushings say HARRIS on them or not.

There were and are parts that are 100% the same aftermarket replacement, Mopar parts replacement (NOS) AND OE assembly line.

But once installed, it's hard to see the writing edge of the rubber with your bare eye since it is so close to the K-member. Even on a lift.

So unless you are looking for a high scoring OE Gold award. I would not worry about the lettering.

The stamped flange around the edge can be seen more easily, and if you were having an OE NATS judge car you might be concerned with the way the flange looks (shape, contours, plating).

The only NOS bushing that I have is a shaft & bushing assembly. The bushing has the part number 1858024 on both ends. Here's a pic of one end.
