Searched long and far, but no dice.

V8s have traction (“anti-windup”) bars between the frame and rear axle. Mine are starting to make noise.

Can’t find new bushings available anywhere. Anyone got a source?
 






You’ll have to measure and get universal bushings, or buy new bars.
 






Rog, I’ll pull a bar and take some measurements.
 






I went through this a few years ago. My mom and pop shop guy (now long closed) was able to match them up with bushings out of the “help” packages they had in stock. They must be a fairly common size.
