My 1983 Moog book lists their number as #K-309 and is listed for 1958 only.

I checked a TRW Chassis parts book, circa 1979, for the proper number and size of a 58 300D upper control arm bushing. The TRW number then was 12173, which was sized at 1.031 OD. The 58 Windsor upper control arm busing has a smaller OD, at 0.937, and the TRW part number is 12168. If the catalogs show that the smaller bushing is correct, then the catalog (or computer) is wrong. Try to get a parts person to change this TRW number over to another brand and see what you can find.

That's the first thing we thought of , but no way, they are different...would have been too easy...there has to be some degree of difficulty in fixing these old cars I guess.

We had the same problem with the 58 300D we restored. The bushings from suppliers are 0.94 OD. I do not recall the exact size of the bushings we removed, but they were bigger than 0.94 , actually they were in between that 0.94 and the 1.13 size of a 1960 bushing and we just could not find that particular 1958 size bushing. What we had to do is bring the upper control arms to a machine shop, they oversize the bushing hole and then pressed and welded a single piece of pipe thru the holes, cut the pipe section that is inside the A arm, then machined the hole to accept 1960 300 or NY bushings...they are readily available and at 1.13 in size, I think they are a better bushing than the small 0.94 bushing...The control arm is thick enough to be able to do the modification, the bigger bushing should last longer. If you cannot find the correct 1958 size bushing, this modification may be your only option... I took some pictures of the modification we did, if you are interested, let me know and I will dig them out... Jean-Yves Chouinard.

I cannot seem to find the correct size Upper control arm bushings anywhere The OD of the bushings I removed are 1.030 All the parts suppliers ( Napa, ESPO) show a bushing that has OD of .94 when the look it up for a 1958 Chrysler 300 or NYR Has anybody had the same issue & if so where you able to find the correct size bushings?
