I replaced mine a long time ago with the polyurethane bushings. It was a
simple, straightforward job. I bought the bushings from Faspec in Portland,
Oregon. They are $4.00 / set (8 bushings). I was under the car yesterday
and the bushings still look and work great. They've been on the car since
1989!
I'd recommend using these.
Faspec's # is: 1-800-547-8788
