There is an ebay storestores.ebay.com/Performance-NOW-Direct?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 carrying a lot of other mfgs merchandise as well as Packard. The seller information lists Performance_now as the owner in the sellers info column but some of the item descriptions list the store as Carmarketpro. Is this seller one of our regular vendors (Kanter maybe) doing business under a different name or as a different company?

I would say you've guessed correctly. If it's coming out of NJ (various towns) it is probably Kanter.

looking at those control arm bushings,,

to me it looks like Pontiac and Buick will work for 55-56,,pack.

never got a reply from jegs on that.

I don't know how much GM cross there might be but the rubber A arm bushings we use are also used on some FoMoCo cars. Early 70's Lincoln is one that comes to mind. There are some modern numbers in the xref for conventional rubber bushings you might be able to cross to poly.

IIRC, at one time there was mention that since Kanters own a poly bushing company they were approached to see if they might be willing to put together a poly kit for Packards. Don't remember hearing if that ever got farther than talking stage.

You can get the 55/56 rear sway bar bushings in graphited polyurethane from Kanters but it's not a catalog item, you've got to make a special request to Stuart or Dan. I'm not aware of any other PST items that interchange but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
