ktgarcia-

I have the rubber bushings in the front spring of my '35. I was rather hesitant about installing them except they were in an "official" Ford box and had printed on the side that they were an "authorized replacement" for the steel inserts. Well, I needed something quick so I installed them. That was more than 20 years ago and they have performed flawlessly without any undo vibrations, swaying or front end wear. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. A great replacement that simplifies spring installation!
