Rubber bushing kits ??

Does anyone sell plain rubber bushing kits for the suspension? All I can find is the poly bushing kits. My car is strictly for cruising and a little fresh air. No straight line runs or carving corners. Plus our roads suck. I just want to keep the suspension as pliable as possible.

My car is 22 years old and basically untouched. All the sway bar ends and torque arm, pretty well every rubber under there is original and thus all cracked and broken. I replaced the trans mount with poly and put on LCA's with poly but that was just because it was cheaper and faster than going to factory parts.

You might check with GM. I purchased 1LE rubber bushings (and some poly endlinks) from them a couple years ago. Also, a friend recently bought motor mounts from one of the auto stores, so you might inquire there. By the way, I've replaced ALL the rubber in my 85 with poly. Foolishly, I didn't think the ride was particularly harsh until my wife inherited a big ole Chrysler. Yeah, my car rides like a lumber wagon--but according to my wife, it doesn't matter because it's a toy.
