L-Body / '86 GLHS Suspension Parts ID Help Needed

[cqlink]

OK, I know this is a suspension parts rebuild kit from MOPAR and I know two of the parts are lower control arm bushings. Does anyone know what the other suspension parts are before I ask Barry to put them on the Parts ID board during the next SDAC event?

Does anyone know where I can get swaybar bushings for an 86S?

Here's the pic:

Those metal plates look like they go on the top of the strut bearings.

I thought the GLHS sway bars were the same as the GLH bars? Are those not available any longer?

Thanks. The manual diagram makes me believe they are the stub arm bushings, lower control arm bushings and retainers but the pic doesn't look like the parts.

Now that you say that, I do believe they are just that. I was thinking those washers looked a little thick, but since it is a picture I couldn't quite tell. I think you are dead on that those are the bushings and washers for the control arm.

Polybushings.com should have them... Or do you want to stay with rubber?

The photo does show the kit to rebuild the lower control arm bushings.
The metal sleeves with rubber inside is the front a-arm bushing.
The rubber only piece is the stub strut bushing (rear of the front a-arm)
The large washers are the washers that go on to the rear stub strut...
but there should only be two, not four.
Here is a video of an install...


AND a link to a how to page that shows them....

Johnny, there should be 4, 2 for each side. I just did mine with your kit.

On the stock ones, there are only two rubber strut rod bushings because the are so soft they just get pulled through the k-frame. The poly ones are built in two halves.

I thought you meant the washers. Oops.
