Re: Cone Strut Bushings VS. Donut -I'm stuck

The cone type is a replacement so you don't have to pull the torsion bars. 
They work fine. You can cut out the inside bushing and push the small in 
toward the LCA. I have used them on both my 65 Satellites and they work 
fine.

Eh,  I just ordered Moog donut bushings, forget the cone style.   But
if anyone has info on using the cone type in place of the donut I'm
still interested. Thanks.
