1964 SDV - Rear End Bushings

[Jacob Foster]

Hey All, good evening! I’m looking to purchase new bushings for my rear trailing arms and rear upper control arm. I’ve read that the replacement bushings for the lower trailing arms are composed of very soft rubber that’s prone to wearing extremely fast.
Do you know of anyone that’s selling upgraded versions using poly vs. rubber? I’m less concerned about the upper control arm bushings being poly, any replacements will do but I’m struggling to find those for sale anywhere online. Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you in advance guys! -Jacob

Dan McNarry used to be a member here who manufactured polyurethane bushings. His info is still in the "Parts Suppliers & Service" section.

Thank you, Kurt! I attempted to reach out to Dan via email back in March, but never got a response. Perhaps he got a different email or no long makes the bushings or trailing arms. Appreciate your feedback, this chapter forum is the best!

Still hunting all over for these bushings. Where did you guys buy yours from?

[Chris McBride]

It’s been a decade but I believe I purchased a set from rareparts.com

Caddydaddy.com also used to be a source

I also think a member of the Cadillac LaSalle forum may be a distributor for rare parts but I just can’t remember his name at the moment. 😕

I have adaptor inserts made to fit the poly bushings.   I sell them as a complete kit.  This is for the rear bushing in the lower arm only, as this gets all of the downforce from the spring. 

email me at [e-mail] to inquire.

Dan no longer sells to anyone in the USA.
