Re: Problem with new Strut Rod Bushings - are these ruined?
Paul------
No 63-82 Corvette PRODUCTION or SERVICE strut rod assemblies used bushings with outer steel sleeves. The outer steel sleeves only come into play if one REPLACES the bushings on an original strut rod. The SERVICE BUSHINGS have the outer steel sleeve. The strut rods you have pictured never had the bushings previously replaced.
