Hi Ego2511

It's the mustach bar bushings, thats what you need. The kit replaces both sides.

Cheers, Ari

This might help you out some.... Pretty good "How-To" when replacing the "Moustache Bar Bushings". Found it on the following website: www.atlanticz.ca They also have various other "How-To's". Hope it helps...

There are 4 inner control arm bushings and 4 outer control arm bushings.

Carl,

correction, there are 4 full inner control arm bushings and 8 half outer bushings (but only when you buy urethane upgrades).

Stock rubber replacements are 4 and 4.

Either way, just order a kit.

Hi David

Well there are still 4 "bushings" in each place, it's just that the 4 PU inner, and 4 PU outer bushings each need to be assembled, from a total of 16 pieces of PU.

He didn't mention PU or aftermarket, so for simplicity I just gave the OEM part answer.

Did you get the Bob and Tom "Beach Boys" parody video that I sent?

You are probably right about inners, although I don't recall them being split (wouldn't have to be to be installed).

Having problems with playing videos, will keep trying.

[Bambikiller240]

I don't know why they would need to be either, but that's how mine came from MSA.

Having problems with just that one video, or others too?

Yup im going for urethane upgrades,so referring to zCarparts.com,

Urethane Control Arm Bushing Kit, 70-78 Z Rear

Code: 23-4137 <--- does this includes all 16 pieces? and is 16 pieces for the left and right rear arm?or do i have to purchase 2set of these for the left and right rear arm which makes that 32 pieces? & together with the Urethane Differential Mustache Bar Bushing Kit (which has 2 bushings) that would sums up to 18 or 34 pieces altogether?Is that right?

Anyway thanx Guys

I have bought from them, and my "kit" #23-4137 provided all of the bushings for both sides of the rear suspension. They sell 2 kits. One for FRONT suspension #23-4136 and one for REAR suspension #23-4137.

Two pieces of Polyeurethane make up each contgrol arm "bushing". Just make sure the kit covers Inner and Outer bushings. Total of 16 pieces of Polyeurethane would cover both sides of the rear. One FRONT and one REAR kit should do it for the whole car.

Then you need the Mustache bar bushings, again one kit should have all you need.
