Anyone know of a source for the rubbers that go in the rear leaf spring mounts on a F body?
 
I've got the poly insulator pads (pretty sure they are Energy brand) in my car and it's darn close to the same as having ISO delete.
 
I had a conversation this afternoon with a good friend, and a fellow F body owner, and he told me that RockAuto is a distributor for Energy Suspension Parts. So I checked their website and sure enough, the exact same part is available from Rock Auto for 25% less.

I am ok with that. In fact, I was considering doing away with them when I couldn’t find any. Biggest reason that I wanted to keep them was not to change the ride height.
 
That's where I finally found my Energy Suspension poly sway bar bushing kit, Rock Auto. It showed "only one in stock" and I couldn't hit "add to cart" quick enough, lol. Only place out of I don't know how many I checked, that had it. The others were either "not in stock", "unavailable until further notice" or "est ship date 05/31/22 or 06/09/22" etc.
 
So, bigger question. Where do we get poly leaf spring eyelet bushing in poly? This is the back end, not the odd oval up front.
 
I ended up buying a poly spring bushing kit with shackle and front eye bushings from Summit. The shackle bushing only kits are unavailable for who knows how much longer. Last I checked, Summit estimated June 6th, and no other place had them either. No place I found lists them for F-body BUT, '68-71 B-body (w/o 440 or Hemi) are the same bushings. I have replacement springs with round front eyes and the B-body bushing is 2" OD, which matches what I have. Didn't want to wait months to do the shackles (thanks to you know who) and Summit had the kit in stock. Difference was, shackle bushings alone are $10 vs. the spring kit at $70 but, you do what you have to do, yes?. I'm sure the same bushings fit other Mopar's also but, order for '68-'71 B-body and you'll be good to go.

The kit was Energy Suspension brand which, unlike Prothane, is made in USA. Didn't change the front bushings yet but that's a project for next winter.
 
Thank you. I should have thought of that. I will get myself a set ordered.
 
Correction, "estimated ship date if ordered today" is now June 16th (Summit) First it was Feb, then early March, late March, April 8th, April 30, 3 different dates in May, June 3rd, 10th, 16th,,,,,,,,,well, you get the idea.
