I have a feeling Mike may have said lower control arm bushings.I've known
Mike for over 20 years & in my opinion, your car is in very capable hands.
Mike was also past President of The Northeast Imperial Owners Club & is well
known by many.

Subject: Re: IML: Rubber Has
Vulcanized?
A couple of things don't sound right here. Rubber doesn't
vulcanize. It "is vulcanized" to the metal part. This is a means of
permanently fastening the rubber to the part needing to be insulated. Maybe he
said that it "de-vulcanized", which I suppose could be a way of saying that
your drive line support insulator fell apart. This may have also happened to
your transmission support mount and both engine mounts. Early '60s Imperials
are notorious for this.
The other thing that didn't sound right was
that he replaced your "lower wheel bearings. There are front wheel bearings
and there are rear wheel bearings. Up front, there are inner wheel bearings
and outer wheel bearings. They are all pretty much located at the same
height.
Glad that you found someone that you can trust, that is as long
as these were mis-quotes, and not what he really told you. If he really said
those things, take your car and RUN!

Bridgewater MA has been working on my 1962 Imperial Custom Southampton for the
last several weeks, replacing lower wheel bearings, cleaning & rebuilding
the carburetor, bleeding the brakes and adjusting them. Mike replaced nearly
all hoses, corrected the elevation of the car and put new brackets on the
torsion bars. Mike also found an ace muffler shop that replaced the cherry
bombs (Yes! cherry bombs) with nice dual exhausts. He also showed me
driveshaft problems to be corrected, because the rubber has vulcanized. He
will undertake that repair shortly.
