front end bushings

[19Kgvw]

Okay, I feel pretty low tech right now. I tried to do a search for the part numbers for replacement of the front end nylon bushings?? I plan to replace the steering shaft and at the same time I wanted to replace these bushings since the kit is inexpensive and easy to install. I know that Old School replied to a post with the part numbers and Boatpuller just finished a search on these, but my search for it failed.



In addition, any special way to search? I picked "any date" to pull the info from but never got much of a search result back.

Come on guys, gimmie a bone to chew on!!! Doesn't anyone remember that thread or can help me out.

OK!!



I'll try to find when I get home tonight. The new search engine doesn't seem to find things as well as the old. (IMO)



Did you try a search using Old School as well as one using bushings?

Ok, found the file in my computer (I saved them) but couldn't find them with a search. Shrimpy was the one that posted PN's for the 2 wheel drive and I have no idea if they are the same for a 4 wheel drive. The parts are Moog

upper control arm bushing - K7104

lower control arm bushing - K7192

Strut rod bushing kit - K7079



AGAIN, I'M NOT SURE IF THE 2 AND 4 WHEEL SETUPS ARE THE SAME AS FAR AS THE BUSHINGS GO.



I'll keep looking

19KGVW, EXACTLY what bushings are you looking for? PACCOOL has listed 2wd (D series) front end parts.

19kgvw,



I've spent over an hour looking and searching -nothing else was found. Probably just not asking for the right thing. I tried!

Thank you Paccool and RDBuck!!!! I had a working emergency out of town and just got back. I didn't have any idea of what to replace or how to get there. Thanks for spending your time on that subject. I can now check with the dealer to look at the exploded view of front end components and compare between D and W series. All in the name of getting a tight front end!!!



If I can return the favor, I will. Rich
