I know Pelican sells them, I have a set of rears, used but in good condition. Dont go with the weltmeister unless you want it to squeak. Go with the factory rubber ones. They should last the life of the car. Engman makes all the other parts you will need to install them and do an outstanding job of it too. Both of my cars have his parts all over them.

If you groove it and lube it, it should be good but dont use silicone, that will gel up after awhile and will squeak. Use some bearing grease on it and you should be ok. Thats only if it is their urethane bushings. The rubber ones dont have that problem. You can tell the rubber from the urethane, the urethane is like a hard plastic.

Graphite lube mixed with molybdenum on polyurethane works wonders, check my dad's 25mm sways with welt bushings.
There's also Neoprene (softer but squeak-resistant). And solid/roller bearings (skline, what were they called?), but those'll rattle your teeth out. |
