Just got the new OPG catalog and they have a new product listing for actual
RUBBER body mount bushings. Only thing is, they are 3 times as much as the
Poly at about $299. I went though $200 worth of hassle changing the front
A-Arm bushings back to rubber from poly and $300 in cost to put the Poly
ones in before that. So I figure the extra $$ might be worth it. THese
really beed to be done soon on Elkenstein (If I care for it at all). The
front ones have the washers spitting out, and #2 on both sides the bolt is
broken and missing.

Here is the part: http://www.opgi.com/p/suspension/24933/130/L240670.html

For years, these have not been available. I think I will go this direction
when I get the money saved.

Let me know your opinions please. I almost bought the Poly ones last week. I
am getting close to finally doing this job.

Thanks,
JC
