Hate to admit it but I mail order ES bushings. Seems easier for the big mail order places to stock the varied small parts & sell them @ low prices. Summit Racing is the place I have used.

added in edit: hey, suspension restoration is in my backyard. thanks for the link.
also added in edit the prices are cheaper too

captain, are you looking for the full set, motor mounts...? I'll see if I can get them for you. I'm in Raleigh so maybe I can save you the shipping costs if you're interested.

Hi Dave and thanks for the reply. I am looking not just forthe motor mounts (Summit hasthose for around $20) but also the full suspension bushings including the big round ones for the back.

But, if you have a source let me know. You can e mail me directly at ronspencer@nc.rr.com

Thanks

Ron

I used Summit. It's generally worth a couple dollars to me not to have to pick up a phone to make the order. Maybe start with a master set, then decide what you want to do about the trailing arm bushing.

I'd recommend Suspension Restoration Parts http://www.suspension.com. Not only do they have some of the best prices on both Energy Suspension and Prothane polyurethane bushings, they are also very helpful and knowledgeable. When you call, you're not talking to some phone rep that doesn't have a clue about bushings, you're talking to the owner of a company that specializes in bushings. I was quite surprised when I called, placed an order late one wednesday afternoon and received my order friday afternoon. A big to Bruce at SRP.

to Bruce at SRP. He promptly returned my weekend email when he got into office on Monday. Calling them on Friday to order rear lower shock bushings.

Another vote for http://www.suspension.com

I had a set of control arm bushings for my '73 Celica and managed to lose one (or it didn't come with one). He is able to line item individual bushings out of the Energy Suspension kits. He ordered me the one bushing I needed so I was back on the road. No other shops can/will do that for you.
