Check out Willcox Corvette. I bought all of my 1981 bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends etc. from them. They will help you too if you have any questions as to what to order. By the way I replaced my originals with the same OEM rubber replacements from Wilcox.

Good luck!

Corvette Central seems to have a very good online selection.

I think I went with the Wilcox kit when I did mine (almost ten years ago!).
