1960 Imp problems - any help?

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

These are the same up through 63 Imperial. If you can't get the regular bushing, get the ball bearing conversion kit. These seem to be readily available & don't seem to wear out. I put one in my 60 14 years ago & it is still fine.

Subject: IML: 1960 Imp problems - any help?

Hi – Yesterday I inspected my 1960 Dream Car and found the diff  leaking. Not that easy to open the plug  - 400 nm torque needed …

Found a stock oil sealing ring and wished John Rosen to hell – again – he sold me the rear axle “completely redone” – with lots of pictures  - but this sealing was stock 44 Years old. So far to John Rosen – again.

When under the car I checked the front suspension and found the idler arm bushing damaged .

Bought it three years ago from Bernbaum .. not the  dream car quality at all  - 2000 Miles  is rather bad for this part.

Here comes my question: is there any PU bushing for this car, may be it is all the same for the A, B, C, D, body?  

Perhaps any MOPAR stuff?
