Rear Shock Bushing— Question
Can anyone recommend where to buy a reproduction rubber set of 4 bushings (2 halves per shock) for the rear factory shocks?
Thanks.
Tom

They may not be 40 years old these bushings were still being sold new by GM in 2000 to 2009.

The bigger question is what do you mean by "factory shocks"?

That is easy Factory type shocks had 2 separate bushings that had a tapered side that was fitted in to the lower shock mount. Some aftermarket shock did not have this design a bushing was press fit into the mount.
