Can we still get stock a-arm bushings, or more specifically, new OEM A-arms with the bushings in them?
How about trailing arms? new? NOS?

The 914 Parts Section at Stoddard is 404, not a good sign, but I think it may be temporary.
911 A-Arms are shown available:

check your lastest excellence rich. the elephant ad in particular (p.41). they now list rubber relacement bushings. i don't know if you have to send your a-arms in or what, but they "spotlight" "rubber suspension bushings, restore original performance, parts and rebushing sevices".

Not something the back yard wrench can do. The stock stuff is poured rubber stuff which permanently attaches the A arm to the torsion tube.

Call Chuck at Elephant.
I spoke to him last week regarding this. All arms are done "In-House" and this is not for the average CSOB. It's the only solution out there for a stock suspension re-bush and it's involved. He's hardly making a buck at it... I just want people to be aware, it's a good service but pricey. A must have for that perfect restoration.
They're on his site if you need more info.

Looks like you can install new rubber bushings at home. Has anyone watched these videos. This looks easy! Has anyone purchased these?

Hmm I have a 75 that I bought back in 77 and I just used a press to press out my old stock rubber trailing arm bushings. They came out clean and look like the
poly-graphite bushings but they are rubber.

$225 with the tools. How many times will you change those. The tools will become a paper weight. They should charge a core rental for the tools. When returned in good working order rebate like $75.00. Ya, I'm cheap.
My hats off them! great product!
