Bushings for a 1964 Olds 98

[COPO_Anders]

Hi !

My brother i law needs to replace the bushings in his rearend control arms, but he can´t find a supplier. Many suppliers have them from 1965 and up, but not 1964 and earlier. Any suggestions where he can find these ?

Thanks in advance

$127.

A PAIR! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

You need FOUR pairs (eight bushings total). This is called supply and demand, unfortunately. The 1961-64 full size cars use a different chassis and suspension from the 1965-70 cars, which is why the 65-up are easy to get. Chevy parts do not fit; the suspension is different. Of course, the common A-body parts won't work. </div></div>

LMK if you need help with this.

Thanks Diego, I´ll pass this along to my brother in law. It´s much appreciated !

The cost of reparing that 98 is rather high som times. I believe he bought lifters for the 345 hp Starfire engine and paid ten times what a Chevy lifter would cost. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
