Have a question about the leaf spring isolators for a 1979 Spirit AMX. Found these from general spring made for a ford granada part SKU # FRI-202. Has any one tried these or is there a supplier that makes them for AMC specific. Is there a polyurathane replavment? Thanks Paul

I posted a question about these leaf spring isolators and had no response. Any way i took my chances on them and bought 4 to replace the ones on my 1979 Spirit AMX/ Looks like there going to work fine maybe a little thicker or mine were worn badly. Next is to straighten the sway bar brackets and reinforce them somehow so they won't bend again. Hard to see in pic but bracket has a bow in it. See my pics and let me know what you think

Great find!
The sway bar bracket is supposed to have that bend to it. |

That's a great find. Alas, all my cars are so old no IsoMounts.
Thanks for the research purchase and follow-through! |

That does look like what I received from ESPO. The rubber seems to be easier to find than the steel plates that surround it. The years have not been kind to most of the ISOCLAMP pieces I have found.
