Discovered the sloppy fit is by design. Scaled the new rubber outer bushings last night at .97” and spring eye at 1.0”. The rubber center bushing unique to the ’62
wagon scales 1.0” though. And when I tightened up the shackle nuts on the bench, the rubber outer bushings expanded to 1.0”. Also Eaton springs says the weight of the car does the same:
The 2 piece bushing is designed to expand in the eye when the weight is put on the vehicle. Picked up a 6” piece of 1 ¼” schedule 40 pipe for a couple bucks too. Actually the heavy burr on the non-reamed ends nest to the lower control arm bushing perfectly,
for use on a press. Guess I better label and save it for future lca work. -- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
