REBUILT STRUT RODS - 65-69
Rod is sandblasted, painted and (2) new bushings with serrated sleeves
are installed. The rubber bushings are professionally vulcanized to the sleeve – just like the factory ones. The nylon bushings are the ones we’ve sold since the mid-80's. We
also offer rods with Nylon on the Inner End & Molded Rubber on the Outer End. This is a good combination. The nylon is unaffected by gear oil and stiffens the control.
The rubber at the outer end keeps it from being as stiff as if it had nylon on both ends. The rubber ends are our bushings that are molded like the originals. Your old strut
has a REFUNDABLE CORE VALUE IF NOT PHYSICALLY DAMAGED. Also consider bolts – #9 & page 164 #16.
