Can any one tell me on what hing and what position the big bushing with the splines goes in. My hinges had the bushing worn and had to weld in the holes and start over. http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

Riley...on a 68 the splined bushing goes on the lower hinge and is in the hole closest to the roller detent(at least thats where Mine are)...

Thanks for the info. http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif

I thought the splined bushing were only used if the holes in the hinge were oversized. If you already welded the holes and redrilled I do not think you need to use them.

There was six regular bushings and two splined in the bushing kit for a 68. I think the splines are for the extra pressure the spring and roller put on that bushing.

my kit also came with the six bushings, i didn't use the splined ones, i saw somewhere that the splined ones were used on 69's, also my original bushings were nylon?

This is an old post but I have a question regarding this subject. My hinge rebuild kit for a 68 camaro came with 8 bushings, four pins and two splined bushings. Can someone tell me what the two splined bushings are for?

I think they provide the splined bushings for the hinges that need them. I remember buying kits years ago that did not provide them. What a drag if you DID need them.

When you pull the hinge apart, you will know if you need them or not. There was probably some difference between years/models that needed it. Just speculation on my part.
