The ones with the threaded steel bushings were used on cars without Torsion Level.

The rubber bushings were meant to be serviced with an entire assembly but those days are long gone and we all press new rubber bushings into our support arms now. Those bushings should be available from any of the major suppliers.

You will be amazed at what a difference they make, and I would suggest doing a major campaign and replacing all of the suspension rubbers while you are about it. That includes the ones at the rear suspension as well. 61 years is a very long time for any rubber bushing.
