DirtyDan Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I need to replace the bushings in my rear track bar on my 64. I checked w/ Energy Suspension for Polyurethane replacements, and they list them for 65-70, but do not show any provisions for 63-64. I cant help but think the 65 has the same track bar on it. I also tried my regular parts sources (clarks, CARS, Kanter, etc...) and they do not list them. Any one have any experience with these?Thanks in Advance,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim63riv Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Dan,Try the ebay store "buick rodder". That is Russ Martin's store and he has the bushings for about $40.00 plus shipping.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Dan,Classic Buicks shows the same part number for 63-70 track bars. They have them for $36.??. I put one of theirs on my '64 last year and "WOW" what a difference. It's a hard rubber one, not urethane, but I only wanted to get back to OEM speces. Check with one of your local parts jobbers and see if they can't cross reference something.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDan Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 I went ahead and ordered the "65-70" bushings from a Energy Suspensions retailer. Only $16, so I figure it is worth a shot. I have a parts car 65 and they look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Dan,If it works, be sure to let us know the part number.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conroy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 What does it feel like if the bushings are bad. I have a "klunky" feeling coming from the rear end when I hit a bump a certain way, or turn into a drive going over the ridge along the curb. The shocks are fairly new. I don't know what else it could be, unless the bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDan Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Conroy,On my car, the rear end wanted to wander when switching lanes on the highway, and it would sway around a little bit making any turns. You can check it by pushing on the side of your car and checking for lateral movement. Mine was real bad, and the top bushing was nearly gone. I'll post on how the "65" bushings fit on the 64 track bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NorwegianRivRoy Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi! I ordered several bushings for my 1964 Riv at energysuspension, and they fit perfect, and gave the old Riv a whole lot better handling! Was cheap too! They also sell by measurements..Go tohttp://www.energysuspension.com/Got pics of your 64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(they have no listings for a 64 Riv.) They fit great and the car handles MUCH better. They were less than $20 for the set.Heres a few pics of my Rivi...

serb Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Nice car,I am sure you get a lot of questions as to what it is, what year, Buick? really.Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serb Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Dan,I meant to ask, what is that color? It kind of looks like what they called dubbonet on the 66 Toronado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
