82-83 Torque Arm Mount Bushing

I need a new tailshaft mounted torque arm bushing for my 83. It appears that the the 82 and 83 are different than the rest of the year models other than the later year torque arms have the lips either facing inward or outward.

Has anybody had luck in finding a bushing that will fit the 82-83? Is there that much of difference where the later year applications couldn't be modified to fit?

Summit lists one for 82-83 from Hotchkis.

Never tried to fit late to early. But the torque arm bracket for any T5 fits an 83 T5.

One of the usual ones that fit all the other cars, fit my 83. T-5. Can't recall which way the lips faced. I bought em both and probably still have the other one laying around somewhere, 20 years or more later.

EnergySuspension lists both styles. I think Prothane does also, but they don't offer polygraphite, only squeaky polyurethane. That's why I tried ES, and I'll be using theirs again.
