Default bushings seller ph # needed

Does anybody have a current # for a co. that sells rear carrier axle and lateral/radius arm bushings OEM, or the poly daizen? I am confused on what to do. I have read that poly needs grease fitting and will be stiffer ride and i can't find a number that has both of them. I also cann't find OEM's help please i need to get bushed. I called sewell and they said they were back ordered 2 years\????? Was she kidding me? Then there is this other place that will not sell them to you unless you sign something first are they joking again. I am ready to buy. Thanks up front.

Poly bushing will be a slightly stiffer ride than stock, but really not bad at all. Greese fittings are suggested to be installed, as they may need to be greased from time to time and this just make it easier to apply the grease rather than pressing them out, regreasing and re-installing. With a very liberal amount of grease at initial install, you wont have to do them for several years. I have Daizens in the front of my car and they have been there almost 2.5 years and I have not had to have them re-greased yet and they are not squeeking. Most dealers will not sell just the bushing as they consider it part of the entire assembly and they encourage you to buy the entire assembly.

Thanks for the pics friend. This helps. Did those 2 bushings make a big diff?

Very big difference. In my case, the entire rear end of my car had a very sloppy sway to it. No more.
