[Shotimes] RE: MAF Update / Strut Rod Bushings

[Russ M.]

  I only have a few new TRW and Perfect Circle here right now:
  
     TRW: 
       HB1592K- front strut rod to subframe- marked FST-1 & FST-2
       HB1593K- rear strut rod to frame- both marked RST

     Perfect Circle:
       FA1690- rear strut rod to spindle- RAMCOA (USA)

     McQuay-Norris:
       FA7174- 26mm rear sway bar mount- RAMCOA (USA)

     The above are all black.  (The bushings in the TRW/MOOG rear link
kits have been red and black,  all marked RAMCOA (USA).   I've seen
both red and black McQuay-Norris rear swaybar frame and link bushings.)

  Mystery "TPR" bushings (were on car when purchased):
     26mm RSB frame mount bushings, RSB link bushings-
        all blue, all marked RAMCOA (USA), identical to M-N and PC.


  FWIW,  about a year ago I bought complete sets of TRW strut rod
bushings locally for ~$65. +tax.   (2 each of HB1591K, HB1592K,
HB1593K, and HB1594K) 
  The 26mm RSB frame bushings from M-N and TRW/MOOG have been
$9-$12./pair..YMMV.
