Got it. 👍

I always had to order them (from dealer) because not even 5 hour away dealers stock them down here... good luck

I find it Hard to Believe that the "bushing" from the MoCo is somehow superior to the Bushings at NAPA... usually only need to be Shortened... and go.
If the counter person asks what car it is for...go to a different store!!!!!

Hope they got it for ya.
If not with what you have said here, put her together with what ya got.
My experience has been like t150vej's , most times the shaft does the most good.

Yep it sux to be missing one piece. And not everyone lives where parts stores carry much small parts like they used to. Not every lives near enough to a dealer to make 2 trips to pay, order and wait for stuff either.

And I've never understood how a steel shaft could wear out against a nylon bushing, but they will. Saw a bunch of it with trailers/trucks with air brakes. Brake cam have 1/4" deep groove in the shaft and the bushing didn't need to be changed.

I was just now able to dig a spare out and didn't want to mistake the OD or length till I measured again. (In case you end up at a parts store) Shaft 5/8" x 3/4" bore x 3/4" long

Bet you can get that bush by the bag full from Mcmaster Carr or a local place like Grainger. Called DU bearings in the trades, use a lot of them on process machinery.

out of stock, but without the HD mark up.

And truth is, would like to have just one sleeve that when all the way through, that you just pull the grease fitting to drill it there, so the sleeves would have longer.

I replaced mine a while back and was surprised there was just as much slop in a new one as the old , and that was with a new shaft. Next time ( if ever ) I'm just gonna have one made, get a much better fit.

I replaced mine with one I made from a piece of Delrin. It works great. So much better than the original one. Uh... "helps to have a lathe."
