Front end rebuild 1972 Duster
I put the urethane bushings in the Charger in 2002 when I rebuilt the front end. I actually used urethane everywhere but changed the LCA bushings to rubber a couple years later, then I pulled the urethane UCA bushings to put these offset bushings in around 2011-2012. The strut rod bushings are still in the car and still look great. I had the front end apart in 2022 and the strut rod bushings looked fine. I have about 17,000 miles on them since they were new. I figured that the LCA in urethane sent too much vibration to the car with very little gain in control and handling, same with the UCA bushings.
I went with QA-1 UCAs in the Charger....
I went with the QA-1 arms in the Charger because it is a keeper. I'll never sell the car.
I could have gone with the same UCAs in this Duster but I'm not keeping this car. I'm not against spending money to get this car handling well but the aftermarket arms are more of a luxury than a necessity.
