I went to the dealer for a set of rear "donuts" that fit the
top of the L-body rear strut. There is one small top one
and one rear larger one for each side of the car.
They told me they are NS-1...no longer available.
They gave me a list of 5 each left in the country.

I ordered and have one of each now.
Can you just get them from the parts house?
I couldn't find them, but I didn't look that hard.
Maybe one of you know a source.

I could make them and would not be that expensive. But if I make
them would any of you buy them? Or want them or need them?

They come with new shocks, so most folks won't need them on their own ...

Interesting, I have Never seen this. Not for the L body.

D'oh! Didn't read your first post properly, was thinking of the bottom spring mounts ... think I got out the wrong side of the bed yesterday ...

I used two NOS donuts from a Talbot Horizon (on top, and moved the top ones to the bottom) on the back of the Charger, they're smaller diameter but work fine. The GLHS needs all new though, I was going to check some other cars for a complete top that would fit ...

I'd be interested in a set for my Omni.

After getting the front done, I'll be looking to rebuild the back. Was gonna get your rear l-body bushings and a sway bar. Didn't even know there were donuts back there. I'll be in for a set as well. Probably need them in a month though, not enough time to engineer and produce :o

How much were the NOS parts?

I woudl imagine that they would be POLY?? Instead of the regualr soft rubber donut? Sure I'd buy a set. The less movement back there the better.
