RE: {Chrysler 300} UCA Bushings

Hi Micke –

I never heard of FCRC Machine. Do they have a website ?

I never bought bushings from Rare Parts. The ones presently on the car were installed 20+ years ago. Not sure if they have the jagged surface that you describe.

Have you checked with Fcrc Machine?

I bought from him when Rare Parts showed out of stock. I have bought a lot from him and everything has worked very well, however read others who expressed dissatisfaction.

A question for you regarding bushings. What experience do you have in replacing your originals with newly manufactured ones?

For Rare Parts of good repute, I see that the inner sleeve lacks its jagged surface against the mount, which the originals do have, any problem here?

Thanks Michael

I think I contacted them already. The Search feature on their website is hit or miss. They don’t update their database as parts get sold. So you end up calling them, only to find out that the part was sold months ago.

Hey Everyone –

I’m looking for Upper Control Arm bushings. Original Mopar #1636041. But I’m looking for vintage NOS or NORS, not modern stock. My experience with aftermarket suppliers (Bernbaum, etc) is that the rubber cracks and falls out. I have less than 5K on mine and they need to be replaced. The only modern supplier that I would buy from, Rare Parts, has been out of stock for a while. Also, my research shows that NORS Moog BR14 would work.

So any suggestions for a parts supplier that would have these ?

Thanks,

Ron
