search for posts by "Anders" on this same topic.

I believe they have to be fabricated, since nobody makes reproductions.

58 rear suspension bushing

This may be the link that Greg was speaking of regarding Anders work on his '58 rear end. I went through Anders posts and came up with this one. If not, Anders might be able to provide you the information you are looking for.

Robert, I suggest that you spend an hour or two going through the thread Ray linked to. That will pay off big time. The bushings is one thing, but as important, or more, is the fact that the ī58 have a funny ( or Not... ) geometry of the rear suspension. The upper control arm forward bushing/arm is under A LOT of pressure during travel, so itīs not really just a "change of the bushings" we are talking about. My suspension have worked flawless since I vent through it, and to custom make these bushings is not much rocket science either, so by understanding the suspension and looking at the function, is worth the effort. And fun as you learn a lot in the process. Best of luck
