Denny Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 anyone have experience with polyurethane bushings? trying to make a choice between polyurathane and regular rubber for my 70 monte. Talked to jegs they have a complete bushing set with every bushing for the car even trans mount and trailing arms, however it doesnt contain the 2 extra bushings that are needed for the ones by the firewall. cant seem to find a complete set for a monte.

cny first gen 71 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Seems to me someone said the chevelle convertible kit has the extra bushings, I'm sure someone else will chime in on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Any of the 70-72 GM "A-body" convertibles have the extra firewall bushings as far as a stock rubber bushings go. 442, Cutlass, gto, lemans, skylark, GS, Malibu/Chevelle, SS. As far as for the urethane bushings go, it depends on your plans for the car. The urethane bushings tighten up the frame to body cushion. Making for a harsher ride but better handling. Also older urethane bushings would annoyingly "squeak". Some have said the manufactures have solved that issue. Idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I have them on my car, needed them for clearance issues with a different transmission. I recall needing 2 different kits to address the extra ones needed. No issues, squeaking, harsh ride, etc. though. I can get you part numbers if & when you decide you want to go that way.

72 Monte Carlo Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 This is the set that I purchased for my 72. I'm glad I ordered them in Jan 2018 for $270 compared to their new price....yikes! https://www.opgi.com/chassis-suspension/bushings-mounts/1968-72-1974-77-total-polyurethane-set/bushing-kit-polyurethane-1968-72-checmc-oval-lower-rear-ch20133.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason72 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I used energy suspension body mounts. Just put them on 2 weeks ago. The link is for the 2 extra bushings. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ENS-3-4171R this is the rest of them. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ens-3-4170r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
