front spring seats
« on: March 28, 2015, 02:52:31 AM »
hi replacing the bottom front spring seat bushing  has been one of the more frustrating things to do on an Eagle, (or any AMC). the bushings are hard to find, and a pita to install. for those who don't mind spending a couple of bucks, theres a guy in Arizona, at Arizona AMC that sells complete seat assemblies, blasted, powdercoated, and urethane loaded, with a grease fitting, for $245. a little less if you send him your old ones as a core. thanks gz

Rare Parts 15151 is the common number. Napa sells them as  NCP 2671342 for $63 each (OUCH!)
Rock auto has ACDELCO Part # 45G8029 listed at $42 each ($32.30 each with Amazon Prime and free shipping over $36)
AMC number 88912535 is the original (according to Rockauto)
DURALAST by AutoZone FB619

The pair I got for $36 from Amazon.com on a close out was a fluke. Rare Parts 15151-2I53B (that's 2i53b) on the package.
