Skip,
I am sorry to make demands like this but I am ordering product from paragon today in order to fully complete my project on the front-end suspension if I can get the correct part numbers and have them here by Friday.
Ok here is the deal. I have spent a better part of 30 hours upgrading and R&R the front breaks, struts, springs, break lines, full R&R of the calipers and checking all suspension bushings. I have found that my control arm bushings are deteriorated to the point where it has to be the cause of my front-end movement!!!
My solution… Find the upgraded trailing control arm mounts “Here’s where you come in” I believe that the upgrade for these “Sorry I don’t know the exact name” are the 968 version and then I am going to get the Weltmeister bushings in a poly-impregnated rubber (red in color).
Question?
1) Is the rear mount on my control arm upgrade the 968 version and if not what is the upgrade and part number.
2) The Weltmeister bushings that will be added… Will I need to order the default replacement bushings for the front of the 87 N/A and then the rear for the upgraded 968?
Thanks in advance for the information it is appreciated

Ok I am a bit confused as usual. I just jumped into the PET and found the following.
My 87 N/A has what the PET calls Rubber mountings with the part number 951-341-023-01
The 968 has the exact same Rubber mountings “What I called the trailing edge mounts on the control arm”
It seems the only upgrade “Which I do not think is necessary but would be cool is the M30 option rubber mounts. Part number 951-341-023-30
Ok I am a bit more than just a novice mech, but I am sure there was an upgrade option that was stated here on the list for this rear-bushing mount. Can any one tell me if I am off the mark here? If not then all I need is the bushings from Weltmeister and I am all set? Right?
Thanks
