Frame / Springs: Vendor(s) for Silver Hawk spring bushings

[Champion51]

Needing to replace my rear spring bushings so I have better control of the car. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good source for complete bushing sets for the '59 Silver Hawk. They're not as easy to find as I thought they would be. Would prefer polyurethane but don't suppose there is anyone making them for our cars. Any help here much appreciated.

I think they are the same as the gt hawks and from what I can tell the 1.5" fronts are the same as a jeep which are also 1.5" and the rears are 7/8" the same as a dodge dart or duster.

Thanks swvalcon. It appears 1.5"s on the front and 7/8" on the rear are popular on many makes and models. I know this is the size as far as diameter is concerned but is the length standard as well. Why would Stude Int just offer the front 1.5s for 58-66 model years and not carry the rear end bushings for the same years? Would think this would be a very common replacement part?

Yep, and Chuck at studepartscom has got them as well. Problem solved. Thanks! Was kinda looking for a cross-referenced newer vehicle so I could just go down to NAPA and pick em up.
