Disintegrated Strut Bushings
Well, gee.
I had the front end re-built this past August, including new strut rod bushings.
I just noticed that those new strut rod bushings are all squished in and disintegrated.

What would have caused this? Were they over-tightened or under tightened?

I don't have those parts anymore since I have the mustang ll suspension but I thought I remembered the washers with the concave side against the rubber bushings. I checked my old pictures before I took the car apart and I checked the "1964 Falcon/Comet" book I have and that is the way they also show them. I think the nuts were just tightened too much, but pretty hard to be sure if that's the cause. Soooo it looks to me like you had the washers on the right way. Larry
