Anyone got a part number for Energy Suspension bushes?

Spent a while searching but come up with nothing.

Re: Anyone got a part number for Energy Suspension bushes?

I'm at work and have a catalog in hand. what are you looking for?

I'm an idiot.

Those arms use a metal sleeve. There is no rubber in them.

The only bushings they offer for arms are the rear trailing arms

Currently laughing very hard as I am pretty much a ringer for Dr Evil....

So.... I am looking for upper and lower control arm bushes. Now it might be that they are not Energy Suspension, what would you recommend?

And yes I deserved that!

I forget that they don't use rubber or poly bushings on those arms.

See here

I can get you part numbers for the rear trailing arms.

This is for the upper and lower control arms

dunno. Unless they have the 67 or newer control arms with the rubber bushings.

If your truck is a factory 66 without modifications, then you don't have anything available in a poly bushing.

Re: Anyone got a part number for Energy Suspension bushes?

All C10, 20 and 30 trucks from '63-'72 use steel bushings on the control arm shafts. The '73-'87 front suspensions use rubber control arm shaft bushings that can be changed for urethane bushings if desired. If you have seen someone install urethane control arm bushings on their '63-'66 truck, they have changed to the '73-'87 control arms.
