Re: Poly Strut Rod Bushings (installing)

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know if this helps or not, but see this guy's report:

What vendor did you buy the poly strut rod bushings from, by the way? I'm thinking that you can call their tech line, depending on the company.

Thanks,
Gary H.
