Rear spring bushings/insulators

[Pat F.]

At my Flight Judging session this spring, it was pointed out the my rear spring bushings/insulators were slightly cracked on my 1995 LT1 Coupe. I have made inquires about getting replacements and have found out that GM no longer produces this item. All the websites show poly bushings.

This is the best photo I have to date.
Any suggestions?

The insulators (cushions) are GM-discontinued. However, they're available from Mid America Corvette in both urethane and stock-type rubber. I'd go with the rubber version ONLY. Also, I expect that Ecklers and Corvette Central probably have them, too.

Joe, thanks for the tip. My Corvette Central Book had no rubber bushings, found them in Ecklers.
Thanks again
