RE: [Chevelle-List] Rear Control Arm Bushings

[John Nasta]

The front lower control arms use 2 different bushings. One for the front and one for the rear. The 12258 is the rear bushing for the front lower control arm.   John Nasta Old Car Network http://oldcarnetwork.com     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of crobertson1 Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 6:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear Control Arm Bushings   I'm lost John.  Are you saying that the bushing they gave me are for the front Control Arms????  It looks like the bushings are the same size for the rear control arms, Upper and Lower.   Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: John Nasta To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 6:00 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Rear Control Arm Bushings   12258 is lower rear and 12237 is lower front. These are for the front control arms, not the rear.   John Nasta Old Car Network http://oldcarnetwork.com     -----Original Message----- I hope someone can help me.  I purchased, a short time back, a set of Upper and Lower Rear Control Arm, under the idea that over the winter I could blast them, paint and install new bushings.  Then this spring I could just swap them for the ones on the car now.  While I was at it I had a guy box them in for me.  Today I went to Advance Auto to purchase the bushings.  They gave me what their book called for,TRW number 12258.  They only had two so the others are being sent overnight.  Well I brought them home and found that they are two small.  I checked the arms that I purchased, against the ones that are on my 69 Chevelle SS and they appear to be the same.  The bushing that I just purchased are smaller than the ones on my car now. I kept an old bushing that I removed from the set I re-did.  They only markings on them are:   Harris FG       62538       B  63.   This bushing looks to be the same as the ones still on my car.  Can anyone guide me to a correct replacement part for the above bushing.  Thanks a million.  While I'm at it, I also need to know the correct Axle Bushings for my car. (The bushing where the Upper Control Arm and the Axle connect together-not sure if I have the right name)
