Re: performance strut bearing question

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>>From where I am the aftermarket strut bearings are cheaper to get than the 
originals. Just get used strut bearings from a 78 Dasher and put the 
urethane inserts into that. Just make sure to use lots of silicone lube when 
assembling. I have found that if you just buy the urethan inserts and the 
used bearings and housings you save about 20$.HTH
p.s. about the contorl arm bushings: they are very cool and pretty easy to 
install just make sure you use thee silicone there too
