I have been successful swapping these out with either vintage or newer Gabriel bushings and crossbar. As shown, the Monroe is too narrow and wrong profile.Didn't need to use a press at all - just spray the donor bushing good with silicone spray, put one end of the crossbar in a vise, then twist and pull it off. The bushing and cross come out together.Reverse process to install on the old shock - twist and push after soak with silicone. Really easy peasy.Kurt
Be sure to grease well before pressing the bushing in...
Don't use a silicon based anything,
If someone has a pair of bushings for the 69 Autolite shocks, I'd like to replace the innertube rubber someone used on mine. Else if the Gabriel shocks are more reasonably priced and readily available, I'll go that route. What is the Gabriel shock part #?
