I would like to know the dimensions of the rear lower control arm bushes 0n a 1960 Coupe Deville.
These are the ones below the diff housing. Are these the same on any other GM product?

 These bushings are only used on 58-60 exc 75 ,CC  ;61-64 exc CC & 1965 series 75 Cadillacs.They are larger in diameter and longer  than was normal for the part. From a 1973 TRW book . Main tube OD is 2.311" with a shoulder 2.344" Diameter . Length overall 3", main tube 2 25/64": shoulder 25/64". Inside diameter .505": The rubber extends beyond the flange 11/32". The flange is on the shoulder end and adds to the overall length.
   The next closest I found was for 1965-up Cadillacs (same use). It  is only 1.858 in Diameter so it would need a very thick bushing to be useable.Warren
