Wow. I scored a set from Japan and received them last week. They were 9000 yen , which sounds scary. But it was about 88.00 U.S. , shipped. Now , I get to split them and put the urethane bushings in. But I was damned lucky to find them.

You're going to have to be more specific I think. Mine isn't , but I'm not sure who you are trying to message.

Were they greasable ? Firm Feel's are and that may make a difference. I also have a set of PST's laying around. I wish it was going to be a race car............I could do a lot of things differently that would work. But this one is going to see a lot of street miles.

I already added my voice to the choir. I have no idea what their threshold is for making more , but I suspect it will need to be in the hundreds at least. Hopefully , it will happen. There are still a lot of those cars running around.

Thanks guys. I am looking for the end bushings with the metal. You know...................hen's teeth. I have new urethane bushings waiting for decent hardware to attach them with.

I'm still bouncing options , and haven't ruled this out. But the ones I have are too rusty to be saved , so I am exploring plan A , B and C. I have a set under the car , which is from Indiana and shouldn't be as bad. But the ones in the V-8 k member I am going through are rough. The ends are...

I spoke with them at ECS today...............they can't find any in the U.S. either. I have a line on an NOS set that might materialize in a day or two.............if I can grab a third , it is yours Volare77. But they are definitely not easy to come by.

I will have to let you know in a couple days. I have a couple irons in the fire for new ends , which has been a long and strange trip in itself. But the price is fair enough. I have new poly bushings I plan on using , and haven't pinned down what they will be attached to just yet. Thanks.

I'd be interested in it for sure. Message me here and we can see if we can make it work.

FMJ torsion bar bushing kit. This is the one that attaches to the lower control arm. Moog K 7289 , NAPA 267-3362 , TRW 12372A , Rare Parts 16539 , Auto Specialty 04-83013 , Raybestos 565-1055 or Chrysler #'s 4026844 , 41066153 , 4014286 or 4186805 They are all the same part , and I have scoured...

For an '80 Volare wagon. I found the V-8 k member and am going through it with new bushings , ball joints etc. The torsion bars are pretty rusty , and I would like to find some in better shape. Thanks in advance.

Well , I got what I was looking for. And am doing the work. Anybody have a set of torsion bars for one of these ? Bar ends ?

From a southern car ? I have a set that are very rusty under the bushings , and especially the right mounting bushing. Bad enough that I don't think they should be used. I know they would be a tad pricey to ship...........I am in St. Paul , Mn. I would also be willing to drive to pick them up if...

Run , screaming from Showcars. It took them nearly a year to deliver a hood for my 1965 Dart. It took so long that I found one from a private party , bought it because I was sick of waiting , and that bumper got here the day after the one from Showcars. Difference being , the one I bought from...

Can't thank you enough for the tip , Volare 77. I had no idea how difficult finding parts for these would be , but so far , I have been pretty lucky. Late B body k member to body mounts solved that riddle , and you helped me find the last piece I needed to go through the V-8 K member I plan on...
