    Check with your local auto parts store; you should be able to rent one if they offer that service.

    Woops! My mistake, sorry about that. My car had no rubber bushings there, and so I decided I didn't need to replace them with new shocks, not even sure the new shocks had those parts. But I dug out my '71 books, and there do appear to be rubber washers as noted in other posts here.

    Not clear they are needed though, the perches are rubber mounted. Drove my car maybe 10k miles without any issues. All that said, I'm amazed the bottom of those shocks stay welded together -- nothing else acts as a bottom limiter but that little weld.
