Title: Power steering cylinder bushings
Post by: bhoulis on November 08, 2017, 01:45:41 PM
Are there any accurately sized replacements available for the power steering cylinder bushings that go in the cast iron frame bracket? The ones that come with the boot kits look way to big and aren't contoured to fit the frame bracket. I still have my originals but they're 50 year old pieces of rubber. Any thoughts appreciated.

When the repro kit ones looked nothing like the originals and didn't fit well at all, I went to Napa and got a set that looked and worked fine.
