I'm not sure if Energy Suspension makes anything that would fit. But that is what I used for my on the front sway-bar on my '54. I believe theres are polyurethane and are available in Black or Red.
I know they have a variety of difference size/styles of suspension bushings, so I guess its a question of going through there catalog and seeing if anything matches up.

Won't comment on the problem because of my in-expertise. But would like to ask Kev to move the thread to the Pre-War section, please?

I don't quite understand, as these same shocks are used on postwar cars as well. Perhaps General Discussion would be better.

West,
Reason I suggested the Pre-War Forum was that you referenced the question to the shocks on your '40. Didn't know about their application to other years.

Shocks are similar postwar, but appears several changes were made in that bushing area.

Mal, what is wrong with you? The title clearly states:
Delco 1966 lever-action shock problem. 1966 is clearly post war.

Please note that the bolt is to be tightened until the arms of the shock contact the metal sleeve that is shown being inserted into the rubber bushings. That controls the amount of crush on the rubber. Could be this sleeve was a little short and squished the rubber too much? More likely the rubber was the wrong type, or a bit too large. The washers are handy to help bring the nut to a hole so it can be pinned.
