Where can I find urethane bushings for the control arms?

I've found urethane bushings for the trailing arms and panhard bar, but can't find anyone that has them for the upper/lower control arms? I even checked Energy Suspensions site and didn't see them there? Anyone know if they even make urethane for the front end and if so, where could I find them? Thanks

67-72 doesn't use rubber/urethane bushings ... not unless you are using a crossmember & a-arms from a 73 up model truck.

Thanks Shane, that's why I couldn't find them, I assume? Well, my buddy at work, who's restoring a 65, said that both the 65 and my 71 front ends are the same and that he had urethane bushings for his control arms? Oh well

Re: Where can I find urethane bushings for the control arms?

he's right (kinda) on one point - the front ends are the same (mostly)

but a little confused on the other - they didn't use urethane from the factory, oem, orginally, whatever ya want to call it.

there may be a company out there that makes an aftermarket/retrofit kit ... but I am unaware of any.

No, he's an idiot! I asked him today about the urethane for the front and he claims he didn't say it... He also recently heard about ADD and us 36 and never knew what it meant before, so, when I was telling him the meaning, he intterupted me and starting *****ing about something else. So, I'm starting to take everything he says, with a grain of salt, from now on...

Sorry I assumed when you asked it was for control arms that had them.

I hope you didn't think I was calling you the "idiot"? I was referring to my co-worker
