Does anyone have a source for upper control arm bushings for a 71-73 pinto.
Mine are deteriated and i am in the process of replacing them.
I got some moog k8219 from orreilly which is what they said would fit but i think they are for a 74 and up.
Mine measure
Bushing #1 Length 1.614
Bushing #1 I.D. 0.628
Bushing #1 Small O.D. 1.262
Bushing #1 Large O.D. 1.305
Bushing #1 Shell Length 0.956
Bushing #2 Length Same
Bushing #2 I.D. Same
Bushing #2 Small O.D. Same
Bushing #2 Large O.D. Same
Bushing #2 Shell Length Same
The 74 and up have an od of about 1.40 and id of about .630
Some sources list a k8169 but oreilly list the dimensions as the same as the k8219.
Thanks
Ed
