I am installing Cal Tracks traction bars on my 76 Aspen, does anyone know where i can get a solid aluminum bushing for the oval front spring eye? Or what leaf spring from an A B C or E body Mopar that has a front spring segment length that would work. Does Calvert racing make this? They list F M J cars in their catalog for the traction bars. any help would be appreciated.

I would ask Calvert. You already bought this kit? It says it has solid bushings, but doesn't say if they're round or oval

You can get new springs from Espo with round front spring eyes

So i called Calvert racing and they do sell the traction bars with an aluminum front spring eye bushing but you have to specify oval or round when you order. The tech that i spoke to said that some F bodies came from the factory with round front spring eye bushings. I have owned a couple of F bodies and a couple of M bodies over the years and i have never seen one with a round front bushing, has anyone ever seen this? The tech was pretty adamant about it being true.

Round is normal on replacement springs. I've never seen it on factory ones.
