59-62 rear strut rod

[Terry D.]

Who would be a good source for a good used upper strut rod on the rear suspension of a 1962 Corvette? Does anyone know who bought Grossmuellers inventory?
Thanks

I would expect there to be several good used ones available. At one time, repo bushings (or maybe they were re-packaged NOS bushings) were available by all the vendors, and they are super easy to replace (you just need an appropriate size socket).

The bushings are still available from GM under GM #3764839.

Yes Tom I was hoping someone had one laying around collecting dust and they wanted to part with it for a reasonable price.
