strut rod bushing washer position
« on: Today at 12:38:28 AM »
For a 1968 car I got a repair kit  from CJ Pony (#FM-ESO17E)  the instructions clearly show that the rear washer is turned backwards from that I found on my car. Any ideas?

1968 CJ - Owner and paint original. Dec 67 build in Dearborn. One of 50 135 Cobra Jets. Ford engineering used it for 8 mos. to resolve problems in the 50 early car build. Ford by-passed the normal sign off to get cars to the Winternationals drag race.

I have read instructions like that before however from the assemblyline the washer was not turned backwards but cupped liked the front. This is backed up by assemblyline drawings, shop manuals, survivor cars etc.

+ 1 It makes no sense from an engineering standpoint to turn the washer away from the bushing.
