In need of one or two front shock bushings. This is the bushing that is on the top of each shock under the steel washer.

Just checked and those appear to be poly bushings, I was hoping to find a set of original take offs if possible.

No need for apologies....I appreciate the reference!

Do you still have the one's removed?

Eckler's actually still show the upper for FX3 on the front. They mention poly also and don't reference it to the GM OE # 10157964 but ...... poly used as a reference or is it actually a "premium" product? I would think poly desired and I'd maybe consider a used OE for a "one time" National NCRS event only maybe. I don't believe I'd be wanting to R&R the adjusters frequently.

I would guess 1.5 to 2" in diameter with a .4375" center bore. It appears to be .4375" thick.

Dave,

Thought about that last night, it does worry me a bit about changing them out again for a show.

For some reason one side seems to swell and push out from underneath the steel washer. It seems some of the fluid has leaked from that shock and caused this swelling. Poly would be much less prone to the swelling as the original EPDM bushing.

These are what I have used originals.

I don't even know which is which right now, been a while since I have messed with the shocks.

Johnny,

Give me a price on the entire group of parts.

Anyone with rubber mounts for SRC shocks must have either good used or new old stock. GM discontinued that part a log time ago.

polyurethane replacements are available on the aftermarket from a variety of places.

When you change to urethane from rubber shock mounts, ride harshness and noise will increase, but, until someone reproduces the rubber parts, we're stuck with that.
