Hello fellas (and fell-ettes),
I've got some knocking in the rear of the "67 Newport. I got 'er up on the lift, and cinched down the rear shocks, and that helped. Funny, the shocks would not move at all by hand, but I tightened them down and that made a bit of difference. STILL, I got some knocking back there when going over bumps. I think it's the rear leaf spring bushing? Here are some photos, the first photo is the driver's side, and it looks kinda pushed rearward. Second photo is the passenger side. The bumping noise seems to be coming from the left side.
Any suggestions? Source for bushing kit? Cheers from Tampa.........Rich
