I bought shocks that have no bushings installed.

Bought parts unseen.
Where can I get 1.25" Bushings for Typical MoPar rear A Body Shocks?

I think Energy Suspension makes bushings that fit those Spax shocks. I remember having to order bushings separately. Probably have to measure and look at dimensions in their catalog. Those same shocks are on Project V.

What I find goofy is the fronts have bushings installed, but the rears do not.
Thanks for the leads. Will do some sleuthing.

I went through this with the front Spax shocks and after a few local options not fitting quite right I contacted Spax and ordered directly. The cost of the product was very reasonable but the priority shipping from the UK was as much as the set of bushings themselves. I did have them in three days and the customer service was brilliant.

I don’t have them handy, I remember just telling them ‘70 Dart /Val to avoid the early A crossover/confusion. The lady was able to look up the part number based on that.

Ordering the rear Bushings Hopefully today.

~$150 USD for some shock rubbers, oh well.
They will be correct and not need to be fussed with once they arrive.
