What is best source for quality A-frame bushings?
 
I am about to replace the A-frame and trailing arm bushings on my 69. Does anyone know of best source to get quality bushings? Thx

Define 'quality'? OEM rubber style? As was said above, Wilcox or a Corvette specialty shop. Poly? I get Energy Suspension from Rock Auto.

I have ordered up some A-frame bushings, ball joints and other front end parts, and trailing arm bushings/parts from "Americas Finest Corvettes" at CorvetteUSA.com. They profess to have parts that are the very nearest to factory original that are NCRS acceptable. So I want the best for my 1969 Survivor.Will see how they work out.
Found them mentioned in an older Corvette Forum post.

MOOG is a very common aftermarket brand and believed to be high quality. Also called Federal Mogul...same company. A decent parts house will be able to get these for you.

Thanks for the info. I will check it out!

daletraylor 05-05-2019 12:26 PM

The search for "bushings" on the Fed Mogul website came up empty, so no help there!

MOOG K304 are the lower control arm bushings.
Not sure about trailing arms, but I think it's MOOG K200921

Zwede, Thx again. I did not think about going to summit racing website,I went directly to Federal Mogul website.

Do a search on this site for them and then back away slowly... They scammed me out of $600.

When you get ready to install them ,put them in your freezer for a couple of day, makes the job a snap

Here is FM/Moog page for 69 vette suspension ... just have to know how/where to look.

Dale, my advice is to stay with the rubber bushings. The poly bushings really have a tendency to squeak. I have installed both types, several times and will only use rubber (as original) from now on.
