so, I have been coming to dead ends while looking for parts. some part #s are good, but no stock, others are discontinued rockauto lists shocks/ struts, but I am trying locally, to try and avoid shipping/ duties......but if I have too..... I actually ordered new hatch struts/ lift supports, from gm, only $30 each! nobody else had them, I was told by many they were discontinued/nla engine parts are fairly easy to find, and thank god the carb is working properly it needs all new shocks/ struts. will do ball joints (lower control arms) as well-BUT- I cannot find a source for the stabilizer bushings. the small ones at the front I could most likely find, with some measuring and cross-searching....but the larger ones in the lower control arms are nla wherever I look- nothing seems to cross to this car. I also could not find a blower motor resistor, but after lots of internet searching, I found 2 that were close, one from a ford, the other from a Honda just wondering if any other mk1 owners have found suitable replacements for these bushings.

What about the aftermarket poly units? May have to see what fits by measuring/comparing to their charts. Could find oem interchange bushings using their charts if you didn't like poly. Haven't seen mk1 around here for ages. |

Have not replaced mine so far, although they look terrible... so if you do find ones that work I would be interested to know! |
