Torque arm bushing? where to get?

I want to replace my stock torque arm bushing with something better...Im keeping the stock TA for now cause i dont have the funds for anything else..........what do I get and where?


Will changing the TA and the tranny mount to the Red poly bushing help in anyway? They sell the tranny mount at AZ but not the TA.

thanks

I forgot, since I have to take the tailshaft off my tranny to do my speedo gear swap then I might as well do the torque arm bushing, I'll be able to get to it alot easier. Ive been reading about 2 different styles about the lips facing certain ways.

Heres a picture of my bushing mount, which one do I have? and which one do I need? Where can I order it and maybe get it in this week sometime?

anyone got a part#

Yup.
Try Summit or Jeg's to get the part number, and check ebay; I picked up an ES poly TA bushing for $7 a couple months ago.

I had a suggestion to not use poly on engine and tranny bushings. All the vibration of the drivetrail goes into the body that way. That's not personal experience talking, but maybe some good advise.
