The cylindrical piece shown with the Arrow at top of pic. What is this part actually called? Once offered by Kokeln as can be seen.

Yes, Racer's Edge is the best choice for those. (The aluminum ones are very nice.)

Ok, I was wondering if that was the name as you can see pics on the R/Edge website but some of their bearings look similar and not pictured in situ.

Bruce, there's no point in welding or powdercoating it I wouldn't think. You don't need these sent to you?

Of course! That would be just fine. I'll mail it out with the bar.
-No reason at all to weld them. Just pop them in your stock pieces and bolt to the bar. Ready to go.

So if the pic in the 1st post is the Banana arm bushing what is the one shown here? (Not the sway bar mounts.)

The first picture is the torsion tube carrier bushings.

The last picture is the rear banana arm spherical bushings.

I was looking at getting the latter. From what I have read, these make more of a difference than the TT carrier bushing upgrade. But for your car you may as well go all the way

Like most people I did those bushings together, but the poly bronze spring plate bearing is probably the most worthwhile I think with a stock rear end.(and the most amount of work to install).
I've always thought the second picture is the trailing arm monoball but...

First one in pic is Torsion tube mount. The last pic is the trailing arm pivot. If the trailing arm pivot feels like it needs replacement, it shouldn't be any trouble. There is a spherical bearing in there that should be able to be removed by just pulling a clip and easily pressing it out. I believe it is a new hartford ball bearing company part. (USA) They are around $60 ea. - or less.
