I ordered and installed new traction arm bushings from a big time Stude vender and they crumbled to pieces after 3-4 thousand miles. I expect they were NOS?
Said vender said there" was nothing wrong with them", under hard driving, they don't last long or something to that effect. (Yeh, it's not like I can get rubber from this car and the originals were mostly intact after more than 40 years.)
Short story is he won't stand by them ( a lousy 20 bucks and I am well into my second grand with him)
Next set came from another major vendor and they are as hard a rocks. Yeh, they are going back.
The big question: Is there anything out there I can use that is not 40+ years old? Any decent bushing in adult driving out to last 50K or at least ten years.
