New control arm bushings?

Featured Replies

On my 78 brat with EA81 suspension I am going to experiment with moving the pivot points inward towards the middle of the car to reduce axle plunge and binding.So there is going to be alot of cutting and welding near the bushings,the heat involved will probally burn out the bushings.So I am wondering if there is a place where I can find new bushings after I am done, or do I just have to make some other bushings fit?

If memory serves, I got some from the dealership.

 

Unfortunately a well intentioned friend got rambunctious with a 20 ton press and I ended up having to buy new control arms, also still available at the dealership.
