Simple solution.
Remove the shocks:
- remove two bolts that hold shock to frame
- put jack/stand under spring
- remove nuts from spring u-bolts that also hold shock mounting
plate/arm
- remove shock and link from anchor plate
Next:
- drill and tap hole in the end of the shock link mount for
appropriate
cap screw (1/4" sounds about right)
- work link back on (w/new bushing), using rubber lube (mine came
from Sears), olive oil works too
- get a body/fender washer of the right size for your cap screw
and wide
enough to cover bushing, put screw/washer into new
hole
I've used this setup for a couple of years now on my race car and it
works
just fine.
FWIW, TD's handle better with soft rear spring/shocks, as long as the
front
end is stiff.
