I have a nice set of NOS 1998 CV shocks (closeout special) I got off of Rockauto to go on my car. When I got them, they didn't come with all the bushings. Is there anywhere I can find some bushings for these shocks?

I have a TON of them I can mail you 4 or 8 just pay for shipping and time.
I replaced all of my new ones that came with my new shocks with poly bushings.
You can also remove an old one and measure for new ones....~David~

gadget73, so you're saying I could just pick up 4 sway bar end links & bushings on Rockauto and they'll work? I saw some for $2.70 a piece.
87gtVic, I am definitely thinking about that. I may message you soon if I can't find them locally.

yerp. One single endlink will have 4 bushings and 4 of the washers that you may need as well. Nuts you're on your own for if they were not in the package. Price that vs 4 bushings. It may be cheaper to buy the endlink and throw out the extra hardware.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Are the nuts intended for single use? I helped my friend change the struts on his E30 BMW once and he had to get new nuts since they're designed to warp once tightened down all the way.

I think they are intended for single use, but I've re-used many of them. If you re-use, just check on them once a week for a while to make sure they're not moving... or use some locktite.

Not sure what the specs are for the 80's models, but I had a hell of a time with this on my 96's. When I would purchase a new set of shock absorbers, they would come with a set of these shitty generic rubber discs that did not prevent a bunch of noise from the mounting studs bouncing back and forth in the hole. Originals had a tapered cone design with a donut that fit over the top. When I went back to the original style, it quieted shit right down. You can still get the original style through KYB, but the part # escapes me at the moment.Attached FilesNick

hm, I've never seen that on a box. The ones I've always seen look exactly like endlink bushings. basically its a round donut with a step. The trick is orienting it with the properly sized step in the frame hole. There are usually 2, one large and one small. Its a relatively dodgey sort of mounting arrangement and if you don't get it located just so, it makes all kinds of noise. I can see where changing to a cone and cup design would keep the shock where it belongs. SHould also retrofit to a box without any problems.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
