Mark Asks:
 
I need the washers that are on the rear strut rod bushings, I lost mine and  
can't find any. Does anyone have some? Or know where I could get them? I don't 
 care if they are used either.
Not sure if it matters, but I have  a 66 Corsa.

Bob Hall answers:
 
I have found that the shock absorber bushing washers are the same   thing.  
If 
you have any old shocks around they work  fine.



So Seth comments:


Maybe. I think he was talking about the washers that are used on either  side 
of the bushing that is pressed into the heavy lower strut rods. The strut  
rods that bolt under the differential on a late model. Those washers are special 
 because they have a slight shoulder in the center which drops into the 
inside  tube of the bushing. This locates the bushing in relation to the through  
bolt. I agree that the toe-control rods near the front of the trailing arms  
use, essentially, a pin-type shock absorber upper mounting rubber and  washer. -
