yea, if you want rubber.

why are you replacing them? they should still be ok, unless you have uber high miles.

poly is available, tho.

Default suspension bushings

They are dried and cracked, I think I will get to much movement with existing ones. I perfer rubber over urethene because of a smoother ride. Where do I find bushings?

Check out Energy Suspension, they have all the urethane parts you could want.
Also, Dick Guldstrand, in Burbank, CA, 818-558-1499, has control and toe in bars with heim joints, that's what I have.
