Where to get front shock bushings
My project yet has an operational FX3 system. However the front shocks go clankity clank. Need the upper two flat round rubber isolator bushings and the lower can shaped bushing the bolt goes through. Need them for both sides. Any ideas? Keeping another legend alive.

Dorman 31018 or 31019 might work

Re: Where to get front shock bushings
That is a path for the lower end of the shock. How about the upper end?

Re: Where to get front shock bushings
can that lower shock mount bracket be pressed out to replace that lower bushing?

Re: Where to get front shock bushings
I am hoping to pressure wash all the grease off front suspension tonight to get a shock out and further examine. My thought is if it was pressed in it can be pressed out!

Re: Where to get front shock bushings
I doubt the lower shock bushing is bad. It's the uppers that tend to get worn. I'd suggest pulling the shock out and inspecting it before buying anything. Autozone and/or O'Reilly will have a Dorman upper bushing that will work.

Re: Where to get front shock bushings
My upper bushing are poly. I can see the lower shock bushing falling apart.

Re: Where to get front shock bushings
Corvette Central is the place! The lower bushing on right shock fell right out. The left shock is fine. Thanks to all contributors for the help.

Re: Where to get front shock bushings
I don't see where they sell shock bushings unless they're part of an overall suspension package.
