LMorales.Pasadena Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Does anyone know where I can find a pair of polyurethane tension bushings for my 71' 510? (front strut suspension) Quote Link to comment
.sunlover Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Fail. No oics (pictures), wrong sub forum, no introduction, etc. You're going to have to try, if you want help. Welcome to Ratsun. Ollz :-) Quote Link to comment

(front strut suspension) Besides the above post, you're going to want rubber bushings of your TC rods. Poly is too stiff for that area and will cause failure where the rods meet the frame. You can strengthen that area by welding in plates, but just buy rubber ones... Easier and cheaper. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Its not the pocket that fails with poly bushings its the tc rod snaps when you run them. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 and you can drill out the urethane TC bushings, to relieve the stress That's what i did on my 620. Haven't broken one yet. I drilled about 20 small holes around the diameter of the bushing to alleviate stress. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Might as well just go with rubber at that point unless you will be hitting the track, at which point you will def want to beef up that area as it is under some decent load and 40 years old. Quote Link to comment
