RE: [Chrysler300] poly bushings ... group purchase?

If someone is successful in finding someone interested in making suspension bushings for our cars, be sure to specify that the material not only be black in color but "Graphite Impregnated" as well.  The addition of the graphite to the polyurethane helps to prevent the "Incessant Squeaking" that Mike Laiserin refers to.  This is a common material used by some (but not all) of the suspension companies, just for this purpose.

Subject: [Chrysler300] poly bushings ... group purchase?


I have had urethane bushings in my B-body cars over the years and the reason 
was two fold. First I thought it would improve handling and secondly was 
because they were supposed to last much much longer.  They aren't supposed tp be 
susceptible to the elements and age.

I never noticed any adverse affects to ride comfort ( the Chargers and 
Roadrunner were never meant to ride like a 300 anyway ) but I can say that the 
bushings must be properly lubricated during installation or they will squeek 
incessantly and drive one nuts ! 

Can someone with a parts book determine interchangeability and then perhaps 
we can go to Just Suspension or PST and say "hey.. we've got X number or people 
willing to purchase...  how much to make 'em? "

Wasn't this done with a special tire size the group needed a couple years 
ago?  With 3 '64's in the family, I for one would purchase a few sets...   just 
make sure they mold 'em in black and not yellow, red etc.
