Stop. Yes the bushings you picture are for a 56 but I do not recommend them. They will last about a month. The 55 bushings have much more surface area to support the load. They will replace the ones in your r2 picture.

In your r6 picture there are many things wrong that need to be corrected before other suspension work is done. Your leveler motor has been run much too far: The connecting link between the leveler and the torsion bar has rotated towards the rear of the car. It should be toward the front, and the longer connecting link going to the right side of the car should be toward the rear. The short link also seems to be bent and should be removed and straightened. Notice also that the torsion bar arm has been pulled very far toward the center of the car. Normally this would make the back end of the car sit VERY low. Under most load conditions that arm is almost vertical.

The last thing I notice is that the small adjustable link that operates the torsion level control box is bent and needs to be straightened.

I fear a lot of damage has been done to your car in the past and it will take some time to repair all the details of the Torsion Level system one by one to make it work properly. Please be patient!.
