    Missing sleeve...240 from suspension

    Was going to do the front bushings on my 1975 244, but can't find the other sleeve for this superpro bushing set. Anyone have an idea if they are available by themselves (not buying a new bushing set)? Or is this even needed? Bushing is numbered 638. I have two bushings and one sleeve.
