Found my dead sea scrolls from 2010. Here are some pn,s FWIW. FRONT UPPER Moog k6170 FRONT LOWER Moog k 6163 REAR LOWER Moog k6271 and Raybestos 5651078. Did not find dimensions. Use a press , debur lubricate, A little heat / cold may help. I think I used forcing screws on some. Did make a world of difference. Some thru-bolts had worn and were sloppy. I wrapped them in shim stock.

Control Arm Bushing Size


quote
My control arms cleaned out measure 1.550 {I.D.}
The bushings I’ve bought measure 1.650 {O.D.}


FYI - Pontiac models are primarily dimensioned in the metric system.

O'Reilly shows the outer diameters...39mm, 40mm or 41mm
https://www.oreillyauto.com...r-1986-pontiac-fiero

39mm = 1.535-inch
40mm = 1.574-inch
41mm = 1.614-inch

Ok That helps with the O'Rielly parts.
I will look more in to that.
The Moog MK6163 have been discontinued i have been on the search for them everywhere

another thing i see sometimes is one listed as forward and rearward bushing.
I don't believe they are two different sizes as mine measure the same ID on all for holes.
I live in Canada but i will see if i can order some from O'Reilly's

Hi all,
I just wanted to update this and say third time is the charm.
I ordered Delphi Bushing's and they fit and now i have them installed.

The front springs are a huge pain that i have yet to get in but i will keep working at it
Thanks everyone for the help
