Howdy!

Have one of the above on my 59 Burb. Looks to be fairly functional except for worn out lower rubber bushings, bent links and I will assume worn out rubber bushings in the link lollypops.

Has anyone ever found suitable sized replacements and renewed the lower bushings and replaced the lollypop links with modern style links?

Or might I be better off going with a CPP front anti sway kit? Thoughts?

Thanks!! Maddog

In my experience, all bushing are not created equal so avoid the J.C. Whitney and a few others that offer them and get a kit from one of the "reputable" vendors. Just my .02

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Maddog;

I have the exact same issue on my 58 Burb. I'm very interested in what you find out. Nothing on mine is bent but the bushings are toast.


Thanks

Larry
