Pretty sure I used OME bushings when I installed their springs in my '88.


Part number is OMESB8 requires 2 kits for 2 leafs at about $22 per kit.

thanks Zark I noticed one of the ones I replaced on the rear last year on top of the shackle has already tore a little bit I might give the poly a try on the rear the ones you get from rock auto are very soft I was concerned about the wear when I put them on thats when I started looking for poly the ones I ordered for the front from JNZ are a perfect fit and they are a lot harder material (rubber) than the ones from rock...thanks again for the poly info I prolly give them a try

FYI guys, whiteline now makes synthetic elastomer bushings for all three positions; http://www.carid.com/1988-mitsubish...lwX0x77Ggtxyc5aVl_IM_Ngls0PyAxoClHzw_wcB


It's been over a decade since I replaced all six with mitsu OEM and they've definitely given up the ghost. Flanges are all squished and tore through and I'm Getting that clunk under my feet on slow corners and load/unload that makes you think something's up with the torsion bars or lca bushings (which still seem fine when I pry at them, even after a quarter million miles, how long do they last?). I was going to go with OEM bushings again, but had trouble finding anything but the moog upper rear, so thanks for the part numbers, they helped me find the oem bushes. I'm still thinking about trying the elastomer ones hoping they'll give more like rubber but last more like poly (as long as it's greased and not allowed to wear out). Looks like it's going to cost about the same to go either way. Thoughts?
