OK, another front end question. I thought all AMC '70up suspension was the same (not including Pacer and Eagle,of course).
Browsing the American Performance Online catalog,I noticed a variety of different numbers for bushings for the Lower and Upper Control arm. But for 1970, the same bushing for both, upper and lower? Is this a typo?
I also noticed some replacement bushings just have a simple center sleeve, where others have a metal 'Hat' or cap one one or both ends (not the outer shell,but the inner sleeve). Which is correct for 1970 Javelin?
My old upper bushings had these caps on each side, My Moog (K3096)replacements did not, I don't think they would fit if I was to re-use the end caps.
Which lower bushing style should I be using? Will having those end caps help hold Camber better?
Are all these differences just the way a particular manufacturer does it?
:confused:
Why? why? why? (don't worry, I won't even begin to question the multitude of different strut arm bushing set ups)
