Anyone know the part #'s for 1LE bushings

[c&cgn]

I already have them for the lowers but since my whole rear end is currently out of the car I figured I might as well do the uppers. Anyone have the part #'s for the uppers? I didn't see them on the gnttype website.

I assume your talking about 1LE Camaro/Firebird bushings - in which case an F-Body does not have uppers in the rear,if that helps any

Otherwise I have no idea

Yes, that is what I was thinking. I guess that's why there is no part# on gnttype

I guess my next question then is what is a recommended upper CA bushing? Something with good street manners and will yield excellent 60 ft times.

Get four more of the lowers, that is what I used. Good luck on R&R of the ones in the rear end housing.

The uppers are the same as the lowers on our cars (assuming we are talking rear suspension here ), and the F-bodies don't have uppers so they don't list a part number. Just get four more like you used on the lowers. Use some kind of press to get the uppers out of the rear end housing - I've heard two horror stories of people breaking off one of the ears trying the bfh method. HRPartsNStuff sells a tool but it's a little flimsy. I did it with an 8" two jaw gear puller and some 1/8" flat steel stock to get the bushings out - lay the flat bar across the end of the bushing and hook the jaws on the ear. Then I used a 2" black iron pipe cap and the gear puller to press the new ones in. Drill a pilot hole in the flat bar and the pipe cap so you don't ruin the center point on the gear puller.
