Right off the top of my head I'd suggest you try Kanter Auto Products at sales1@kanter.com . They don't list Hudsons under their front end kits, but maybe they happen to have a spare bushing or two. Also, call Dave Kostansek or Tim Cheney at (440) 994-9173 or (440) 293-4079 before 8 PM (EST). They carry a lot of the 'wearable' Hudson parts. By the way, I don't know if you're a member of the H-E-T yet, but if not, check the club out at http://www.hudsonclub.org/ .

Were you talking about the sway bar bushings? I thought you mean control arm bushings. If you're talking about the sway bar bushings, I have a NOS sway bar complete with bushings but I'm not sure what year it's for. If you could give me some dimensions I may be able to fix you up pretty cheaply!

well the sway bar is one. when i cut the coils to lower it, the sway bar geometry changed and the bar is longer than needed. let me measure and i will see wha tthe dimensions are.



i want to change anything that i can to enhance the control so i assume there are a couple of bushging i can adjust
