Anyone ever tried these? Any good? Hard to install? And are they available for '73 up A bodies?
I just had a set of those that were stamped Norris McQuay (Horrid-McQuack).... I dummied one up and was less than thrilled by the fact that it wasn't easy to get the strut rod back into the bushing, it pushed the bushing back out of the hole in the K-member while torquing it to spec, so I had to disassemble the whole shebang, at which point I got a set of poly two peice bushings from Energy Suspension and gave the N-M parts the heave ho....

FYI,

I guess I was interested because the design allowed installation without removing the lower control arm, which in theory would make installing them easier then installing the two piece. Guess no one likes them.
Thanks for the responses!

Be aware that Energy Suspension's strut rod bushings are too thick for some of our applications and push the lower control arm rearward causing a loss of positive caster.

That's interesting they are the same thickness as the 1976 bushings I just tossed out (except they weren't hammered from 32 years of driving)...they do look to be a bit thicker than the 1967 bushings though...

I'll keep and eye on that when I get the thing finshed up, as for the N-M bushinges by the time they 'squish' they wouldn't have been even close to the 1967 bushings either...

Thanks Josh,

When I installed mine, I did have to trim the metal sleeve that passes through both halves of the bushing by about an 1/8 of an inch just to get the nut on...

Yeah, I couldn't remember the year cutoff. '72/'73 would make sense.
