1974 Strut rod bushings

Post by general » Fri May 14, 2010 1:47 pm

I'm having a difficult time finding these parts for a 1974 Plymouth Satellite. The MOOG part number is K7085 but has been discontinued according to parts store around here. I boought K7068 off of Rock Auto but they are too small. Their website failed to say these were good up to Oct 19,73. My originals are much larger.
Has anyone found these or a substitute. Any leads would be appreciated
Thanks Norm

I checked Moog's site and see no K7085 listed or a replacement. The K7068 is listed for 74 Plymouth.
Maybe a different brand??

I tried the K7068 and they are too small. I will put my originals back on for now. I have been told the K7085 has been discontinued.

Hi guys. I've encoutered the same problem during my suspension rebuild. I've made parts to adapt the earlier type of bushing but I've found this company http://www.egge.com/site/?d=48&dt=1&Sub ... geCursor=1 which may be of use to someone else. Their website seems very slow though !!!

I'd check Just Suspension and PST ( Performance Suspension Technology). I'd definatley go with a graphite impregnated unit in that application. Keeps the geometry alot more stabil.
4th generation B bodys- there is no substitute.
