Strut Bushings

[Beluga]

I can't find this part on the website. I have a 66 Travelall.
It's the front strut bushings.
Do you carry these and if not, what options do I have?
Thanks, Craig

We have none in stock right now. Checking on my supplier for availability. Will let you know what we come up with.

Any word Jeff?
Thanks

I made a few phone calls but did not hear back from any of my suppliers(a couple due to the holiday). Give me another couple days on this as someone has to still be making these and I do want to find out and start stocking these.

No problem.
I am going to have to call you when you find them anyway to ask about how to install them and if these are bad, what other bushings, bearings, etc I should look at right now and replace while doing these (cuz I'm a noob).
Thanks!

Ok I found some and have 8 coming. Boy have they gone up in price. Unless I can find them elsewhere for less you're looking at $20 each and you will need four. Other bushings that might need replacement are the control arm bushings, ball joints and torsion bar bushings. Best to perform an overall inspection first to see what is actually worn as there's no sense in replacing parts that are not bad.

Thanks Jeff,
can you hold those 4 for me for now? I am going to get a friend to help me check the rest of the bushings and see if I need to order anything else.

No problem. Will have four kept off to the side for you. Just call when you are ready.

Ok got them in today. I was mistaken on the price. It is $20.52 for the set of four. I thought I was ordering eight individual pieces and ended up receiving eight sets of four.

Jeff,

if this is a repost from a few days ago, please disregard.

Scott c was gracious enough to get the Travelall up on his lift and we went thru the suspension. A number of the bushings are bad so I have attached pics.
I am going to call you about these bushings and hopefully the pics will help me identify and order the right parts.

Talk to you soon,
Craig
