Rear LCA bushings

[Fast Lane]

Anyone found rubber LCA bushings for the rear? I can't find any replacements. Dorman makes a new arm but they are pricey.

Just curious - why rubber? I had always heard that polyurethane were superior - and based on what's widely available, it seems like this is what most folks buy. What are the advantages of rubber? I know that the OEM part was rubber, but always assumed that was due to price?

Rubber you get less noise.

Rubber you get less noise.

You also get less traction due to rubber being much softer.

Are you going for performance or quality of ride?

Ride. This car is staying stock. I might but a cat back exhaust on it in the spring. I replaced the upper control arms last summer.

Mine are metal to metal worn out
Could not hear any noises from the exhaust system being to loud

Not sure if you can find the rubber bushings is the problem. If it’s staying stick I understand that but I’ve never seen them.

I might have to pay the bucks for the Dormans I guess. That sucks.

Is this what you are looking for from NPD?

Wow, I had no idea.I have been looking for a while and did not find any.. I used soft poly when I really wanted rubber- why, because rubber has rotational torque and poly does not. It makes a big difference in how the car was designed. After 40 years of changing to all poly I now use a mix of both where doing suspension rebuilds to get the right handling instead of all hard bushings and 600 pound springs.
Thank you for your information. Buy them while you can and store them for a later use when they really could be gone.

probably far fetched but do the upper bushings even come close? Maybe not, they are that oval shape? trying to remember.

just saw that you are a newer member. I'd like seeing pics of your car. I still really like the looks of the stock 5 spoke 99-00 wheels.

maybe evil bay? buy a new take off set and yank the bushings?

Upper rear OEM style also here. Also, I think you can get the upper rears from Maximum Motorsports.
