Thanks, though I already knew about the poly bushings. I'm looking for rubber. Poly basically sucks in any suspension application.

What's wrong with OEM?

 

I agree, what's wrong with OEM?

 

Actually nothing other than the silly cost

How much are they charging for OEM ones?

 

Check the prices here:

Should be about $25-$40 each

 

When I was doing this job I got a different answer from each source I asked. The local Toyota dealer said they had them but there were 4 different prices for the 4 different bushings (i.e. lower front, lower rear, upper front, upper rear) and IIRC the prices ranged from 20/something to 60/something each. I called or e mailed Toyota of Dallas for a quote and they replied that upper bushings weren't sold seperately but only as part of an entire new UCA?? (at a couple hundred/something each) So I gave up and put in the poly's and Fred is right in that they suck. I will admit that my pass side ones are fine but the driver side ones are sticky and squeaky and I probably didn't get them lubed in right. Oh well, SAS in progress now so it's a moot point for me at least.

 

Order the oem stuff online.
