A-Body Rear Axle Bushing Diameter

[APinSoFla]

Can anyone tell me what the inside diameter is of the ear on the rear axle that accepts an upper control arm bushing ('70 Chevelle 12-bolt)? I don't have access to my car for a few weeks so was hoping that someone would know.

Thanks,
AP

Are you making custom bushings or something?

[chevelletiger]

the bushings smaller dia(bushing shell is stepped big to small,smaller end goes into housing ears)is 1.811 from what i remember or close to 1 13/16 if you eyeball it with a tape measure.

Measured the bushing shell at work with a micrometer,1.849 so the bore on those ears should be about a .004 to .005 smaller from what i remember so research it first.phil
