Tracking arm bushings - - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anybody know if there are two different sizes of tracking arm bushings? I ordered some from one of the site supporters but they're too big. My truck is a half-ton '67 and the the tracking arm looks original.

I figured they were all the same size??

Unless what they sent me are not tracking arm bushings. I need to post a picture.

3/4 ton has a larger one if I'm not mistaken.

Don't know of the sizes but I did have to press mine in using c-clamps and wood, Then the brackets underneath had to be tweaked out from where they were tightened before to get them in. Mine are poly.

Mine were good & tight. I also spent a bit of time w/ a large C-clamp.

Here's a smmmmoooooth way to get them started into the brackets - no banging or busted knuckles. Just turn the nuts out and it'll spread easy and not bend anything either.

Well, I called Energy suspension, and uncle is right - there is a difference between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton bushings, and the 3/4 tons are bigger. 1/2 tons are part #2065, I got #2376.
