I need the washers that are on the rear strut rod bushings, I  lost mine and  
can't find any. Does anyone have some? Or know where I  could get them? I 
don't 
care if they are used either.
Not sure if it  matters, but I have  a 66 Corsa.

Bob Hall answers:

I have  found that the shock absorber bushing washers are the same    thing.  
If 
you have any old shocks around they work   fine.



So Seth comments:


Maybe. I think he was  talking about the washers that are used on either  
side 
of the  bushing that is pressed into the heavy lower strut rods. The strut   
rods that bolt under the differential on a late model. Those washers are  
special 
because they have a slight shoulder in the center which drops into  the 
inside  tube of the bushing. This locates the bushing in relation  to the 
through  
bolt. I agree that the toe-control rods near the  front of the trailing arms  
use, essentially, a pin-type shock  absorber upper mounting rubber and  
washer. -

Mark, As Harry and Seth point out there is a big difference in size and  
purpose.  Which ones do you need?
