ragejg Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 The pads (bushings, whatever, I dunno what to call 'em) at each end of my monoleaf are shot, and I'd like to buy new pieces, because I'm doing a strut job next week on my '93 lumi. The local parts shop called the dealership since it was a not-in-stock part and quoted me a ridiculous amount. Bleh. So where else can I get these pads? They aren't THAT expensive, are they?

herb427sc Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 MOOG makes them, but I do not know part number... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 The MOOG "pads" aren't really pads at all. They're a poly "puck" that slides under where the monoleaf contacts the knuckle. The part number is K6544. $20 a set from rockauto.com... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Dont feel bad, dealer quoted my $70 for a fucking cup holder... I might be able to get you a NAPA part number tomorrow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Dont feel bad, dealer quoted my $70 for a fucking cup holder... I might be able to get you a NAPA part number tomorrow.. Please do, I need these things myself. Bad. My rear end looks like an Achieva rear end when I accellerate. And that's bad because my tires aren't as thin as Achieva tires are, so it can't be an Achieva rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92LuminaRS Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 will the combination of the pads and puck raise the rear? If so how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Goodwrench Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 You can get these parts at NAPA also. P/N: 274 7050 - $16.49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 yeah I looked it up, I got the part number and I just lost it :oops: But they were like $17.99 but prices will vary between stores. EDIT: I think the number above was the number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 How would you go about installing these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I have the NAPA ones in my white Z34 for 1.5 yrs and they work good. No more squeaking. I just used a prybar and a small piece of wood. I gently pried up on the monoleaf spring, one side at a time using the wood to protect the fiberglass spring. Then just slide the poly pad in between the knuckle and the end of the spring.

GP1138 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Well, I just got back... NAPA closes at fucking 6 for some reason. I did find a TRW equivalent for $11 at Advance, and it was CC104. I wanted to ask here to see if this was cheaper and if I should go for the more expensive part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 They are for a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 The ones I got at NAPA last year were only $9 as a pair. They are the white poly pucks kind. They didn't go in all that easy.....but I made it easy. I got on the grinder and rounded the to edge of the side I was pushing in first. Then all I had to do was tap a bit with a small hammer. I jacked up the monoleaf though, not pried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
