Curt,

I had no luck finding bushings that would fit the arms that came from Don at CRII. I went as far as taking a digital caliper (see below) and calling about a dozen supply houses/manufactures and could not find a match. I had the same problem with the front uppers and ended up buying new front upper and lower arms from Terry at Great Lake Replicas (overall a much better solution for the front anyway)

DV can chime in and tell you how hard of a time he had finding a bushing for the upper rear axel mount when he found out that the sleeve on one on the axel was cracked. Check this out. I got a 9" ford rear end from Don and it turned out it had (DV correct me if I'm wrong) full size Buick brackets and bushings welded on it.
