Front strut replacement upper bushings........help out a new first gen owner down on his luck

So, replacing front struts with Bilstein B6 4600's. Assembly doesn't include upper bushings/mine are shot.

Calls to Rock Auto, Moog, Summit Racing, the major auto box stores and attempted call to Bilstein produced zilch. Always friendly dealer happy to supply the 4 Toyota OEM bushings for $216.00 + tax. Seriously.

Guessing there's a generic universal replacement, but my current ones are too deformed to know what dimensions I need in a replacement? Appreciate some help with this one, TIA.

 

What bushings? The only ones on the coilover assembly is the rubber disc under the top hat (plate with three studs) and the two piece bushings in the lower eye of the shock.

 

No, there are ones that go on the shock shaft and sandwich the top plate.




@billum v2.0 this might be what you're looking for

 

Ah, forgot about those. Been awhile since Ive had a coilover apart.

 

In picture 19, everthing above the strut rod (washer/lower bushing (TOP HAT) upper bushing/washer/castle nut. Not replacing entire coilover assembly, just strut.

 

You sir, deserve a beer at my expense. Or three. Much thanks.

 

Yes, COILOVER, not strut, lol...

 

Does this look like the minivan forum to you? Haha.

 

actually, sometimes it does.... *cough* 3rd gen *cough*

 

These vendors that list Coil overs as Quick Struts Should be Gelded .

 

Replacing my struts today, and found my bushings to be totally useless. Thanks for this here
