    "L-Body" rear strut donuts NS-1

    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 ...

    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

    How much were the NOS parts?

    They were about $8 each with shipping.

    The stock part numbers if you need new factory ones are.....

    There should be 2 or 3 left in the country.

    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.
