I have a 67 Chrysler Valiant. From what I can gather our Australian control arms and strut rods are the same as your US parts, I have to replace my upper and lower control arm bushes so I thought I would do the strut rod bushes as well . I looked on the Moog site and it says part number K7040 for my Val but I also did a search on this site and someone else said part number K7068. Would either set fit ? The K7068 have steel crush tubes , it doesn't look like the K7040 come with crush tubes. Thanks in advance , Greg |

I just looked up 67 Dodge Dart at Rock Auto, under "Suspension" Moog K 7040 strut rod bushing is listed with metal sleeve. I used these on my 67 Dart, replacing the dinky factory one piece bushing, and they work nicely. Also you will be able to achieve correct torque of nut when assembled. |

Thanks for that. That is where I had been looking but the photo doesn't show the steel tubes. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php ... 34&jsn=404 |

I just got my K 7040 bushes from Rock Auto .They didn't have a metal crush tube which doesn't worry me . They came with the cup looking washers in the above listing . It says to install these with the cup facing outwards , if you know what i mean . Is this what you did ? |

Yes, definitely w/cup facing outward, as in the instructions. Slant on, Lou |

I was a bit worried about the Moog bushes being too thick . So i put the LCA and strut rod with the washer facing outwards back on . I measured from the metal washer to the inside of the K frame on my VC Valiant . Measurement is 20mm approx . Moog bush is 20mm approx . Sweet . |
