RE: IML: bushings

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think you can get poly bushings for the Imperial front end. I could 
not find any. I used poly bushings on the sway bar as these are generic and 
available at most parts stores. I used Collector Auto Supply for my bushings 
as they were not easy to find. If you find a replacement for the front stub 
frame isolation bushings let me know(guess it depends on what year you are 
working on). I am now thinking of going to local truck and trailer shops to 
see if they have something that will come close. I am tired of having my 
front end dance around on me. Those isolation bushings on my 72 are shot. 
You could also try Kanters as they offer a lot of kits for older cars but 
you will pay for it.
