Correct strut rod bushings replacement

[Chris]

A quick question. Is there a difference in the bushing design from the 63-64 vs the 65 on up Cadillacs?

I am in need of some bushings and I've looked on RockAuto, and OPG, but I am confused because on the OPG website it list the bushings being the same for a 61 all the way up to a 76 Cadillac.

Caddy Daddy is insanely expensive and overpriced, so I am looking for alternatives.

Can I use the MOOG bushings part # K5184 for the 64?

Thanks.

Cool, I'll order those then. Both sides are trashed on mine, so they're desperately needed. I like MOOG parts for there quality, and they're fairly affordable compared to say Rare Parts which is probably made by the same company or even Raybestos but the prices are stupid high.

They look to be redesigned, as the fronts always failed. I run them, and have no problems at all. Put them on your car with no worries.

Ok thanks Russ.

Hey after looking at the shop manual, I see that the front bushings are different from the rears? Those Moogs look like the rear strut rod bushings, not the fronts, or can I use both of them for the fronts?

Thanks!

The master parts book shows that the 63-64 are the same, but 65 is different.  I did a quick search for the bushings, and rare parts came up.

I have a MOOG box  K6092 with new bushings in it. Check that PN out.

Bump. Anyone?
