Default Help: rear trailing arm inboard bushings

I'm a 993 guy so pardon the part nomenclature ignorance

Not the outboard side, but the inboard bushing that attaches to the tub (engine tunnel) and is upstream of the camber/toe adjustment plate.

Trying to help a friend, the ones on his car are toast.

Monoballs would be great if available....

TIA

PM or email Steve Weiner and speak with him about the ERP parts you seek...he may have another idea for you also.

Added some more clarification to your post, lol

I lucked out and got a brand new ERP set on eBay for $400. I'll install them when I revamp my suspension.

I think 9M might sell an upgrade bushing for this area because in their 964 build thread, I asked if they were using the stock spring plates and I think they said they were the stock plates w/ 9M bushings. Hopefully they will chime in on this thread.

9M used RS spring plates with trailing arms fitted with their 9M/Powerflex bushings.

The Powerflex bushes (which are purported to be RS hardness) are available via ebay from UK sellers (which is where I got mine) but DO verify these are the one's you're looking for.

The kit from Powerflex was new to me. Must be a new kit or?! Has anyone tried it? The price looks fair too.

I had them on my 965 Turbo 3.6. No complaints.
Have been around for 4 years, initially only via 9M. I think it was a joint development.

Rats - was hoping they were the right ones - sorry about that! I have them also, like them alot though I would have gone with Walrod bushes if he made 'em - they're excellent and nicely engineered.

Just wondered if there were other options before I leap in.
