54 Lower A-Arm Inner Shaft Bushing

[Eric F.]

I received shaft bushings with a rebuild kit that don't look like the ones that were on the car. Can anyone tell me which ones resemble original equipment. I've seen the one that I received in the rebuild kit on several judged cars but I'm not sure if they sustained point deductions. The judging manual doesn't mention their design but it wouldn't be the first time a judge deducted points as a result of their intimate knowledge of a specific part. I want to make sure the parts look original and meet the judging standards. It should go without saying I want the parts to be safe and function as designed.I've attached photos showing both bushings (end caps).



Thanks in advance,Eric

Eric, All of the original cars I've done had the GM stamp. I do not believe there is a reproduction with that detail. I've done 3 or 4 FE rebuilds over the last few years and all repros I've used are blank.
