Default Upper shock bushing needed

I have a problem with a front, upper shock bushing that is torn. I have the ZO6 shocks and need to find a replacement bushing. Does anyone know if these can be purchased at the dealer or elsewhere?

They don't show in my GM parts manual as a separate item.

However, if you do a Google search you can find them. Normally they are sold in sets and can be gotten in various types on materials. Urethane is popular with a lot of people. I use them on several of my cars as they are more "tight" in handling than rubber ones but don't cause a "harsh" ride in my opinion.

Thanks for the offer Marc. I was fortunate enough to be able to get one locally from a vette person that never throws anything away. It was a rare stroke of good luck.
