Location: northern germany | I'm rebuilding a pair of 59 Plymouth LCAs, I have the correct bushings, but I checked the measurements of the sleeves and these happen to be common sizes, even metric compatible.
35mm (1.1/4") inside outer sleeve and 27mm outside inner sleeve. I checked my stock and 59 Plymouth Poly rear spring front eye bushings slide nicely in.... Very tempting...
Of couse they need to be modded, but hard Poly is not too difficult to machine. For the time being, I will use the stock bushings, but I tought I give this hint for others. Part number is in the pictures.
I LOVE Poly bushings. I installed them in my 60 (all rear spings bushings and all sway bar bushings, front/rear) 30 years ago, still no play or noises!

Location: northern germany | Because these are 2 piece bushings, the inner sleeve needs a little collar added to the front end. Maybe someone knows of a better bushing application to start with? |

Location: northern germany | Yes, that Chevy application fits 57-59 Plymouth rear spring front eye I found out years ago. Very little modification needed. Inner sleeve accepts a 9/16" bolt, not 1/2". Turns out it can be modded to be used for 57-61 LCAs too. |
