I asked this question in the suspension section but nobody seems to look in the section so I’ll ask it here.



Hi, I have a 1990 Camaro RS and the original factory shocks are shot. I bought some new Delco performance ones and noticed the rubber bushings that go on the top and underside are smaller in width than the originals and that the originals had a rubber sleeve on the lower bushing that went over the metal shaft of the top of the shock mount. The new ones don’t have this feature. I looked at all the other new shocks and the videos on YouTube of people doing replacements and all of them have this newer smaller style bushing. Anyone here know of a source for the original factory style bushings, or does it even matter?


Thanks.
