IIRC you cannot get the bushing alone. You need to get the whole lower control arm. Search the forums. I believe there was someone who was rebuilding them but I can't remember who.

We got rid of the rubber ones and made Delrin replacements for my track car. Requires machine work, but not all that hard. Still have a slug of the right sized material on the shelf. Please don't ask me to quote a price unless you are absolutely sure you would like to go this route.

Been quite awhile, but IIRC, they were cut and pressed out.

Mark Anderson had Delrin bushings on the front LCAs on his racer. Maybe he can comment on what he thought of them. When I saw them, they were worn out and had already been "shimmed" to compensate for wear.

Back in the day, 928 Spec sold these blue poly's. Think they came from Australia. They weren't a perfect fit though--had to take a lathe to them. Maybe if you call DR, he still has a set laying around.

I have the blue ones. They have never been tested on a car however. Seems like they make move more than the rubber ones

You mean from Grunt's Bushings? I had them bookmarked and the URL is now in Chinese. Not a good sign.
