Re: rear suspension help

I think if you want it in kit form, you'll need to buy one of the kits for the entire car. The rear end doesn't really have many bushings, just the sway bar, end links and the lower control arms. For the lower control arms, your better off just getting a set of new aftermarket control arms with new bushings already installed. Founders are the cheapest ones you can get, with poly/poly bushings on the ends. You'll also need to measure your sway bar to find out the diameter in order to get the correct size sway bar bushings. There was 4 or 5 different sizes used over the years in these cars, depending on options, model etc

Re: rear suspension help

If you're looking to re-bush, we have some awesome solid lower arms and Panhard bars.

They stiffen things up, get you the new bushings and save a lot of aggravation.

With that being said, Energy Suspension has bushing kits. 3-18131 for the entire car. Like mentioned above, just a half kit is a bit uncommon. Of course you can buy them blister packed separately, one kit for sway, one for PHB, etc but the prices end up close to the entire kit...
