<x-flowed> Thanks Keith.
Does anyone out there have any good used bushings?

Right on both cases; and unless they are the same as Bug ones you aren't
likely to find any urethane ones. I would look for good used ones, here in
the North the rubber under the car is likely to still be good. I have lots
of IRS stuff but not swing. Im sure there are others with good swing
bushings.

I'm having my mechanic adjust the height on my '67 square. [raise it up. ]
It looks like the bushings around the rear torsion bars / spring plate,
are no good, and he's suggesting I replace them. He says there are
two types out there, the hard urethane ones or the after market rubber ones.
He says the hard ones will squeak, but the aftermarket rubber ones don't last more than a
year or two.
So, what are people using there?
