Hello, This is my first post, but my brother frequents the board so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I have, pictured below, two strut rod bushings (to the lower control arm, not the frame) that allegedly fit my 1990 Anniversary SC. On the left is the one I removed (with help from my master SC mechanic, my brother) and ultimately re-installed.
On the right is the one that came in the "MN12 Performance" suspension rebuild kit. (Fun project, replacing all the bushings, never bled and swore so much in my life. )
Any ideas on the BLUE bushing??? It seems to match the stock pin-stripe on my 1990 Anniversary, so is it stock or some aftermarket part? Also, it says, "Made in the USA" on the top.
I like the blue one better because it creates a better seal between the strut rod and the lower control arm (i.e. between the washers). The black bushing seemed to have too much play.
Yes, that is the best I could do in regard to picture quality.
