RACING Replacement Derin Bushings

[403Olds]

So my winter plans are swapping out the 5660 front springs for some 5662 for a little stiffer front end. As part of this, I'm wanting to replace my front lower A Arm poly bushings with Delrin. I've been unable to find any replacement bushings. The poly bushings have probably 65K miles on them, but I have tall lower ball joints with only 20K on them, so not really wanting to replace the whole arms.

Any recommendations for a supplier for just the bushings? TIA!

I've bought from them in the past and I've never had an issue, They've been in the game for a long time.

Just an update for anyone that enjoys swapping out springs every other year lol....

I changed from Poly to Delrin lower control arm bushings, with the A-arms still on the car. Fun! At the same time removed uncut 5660's and went to uncut 5662's. The front end might have went up 1/4". The ride is still decent, it's acutally not as firm as I thougth. I'm still running 235/60/15's in the front. still waiting on my 17's to get painted, so that will change ride height and quality. So far, I've been pleased with the firmness, not unnecessarily harsh. The ride height from the ground to the front frame rail is 7 5/8" with tall lower balljoints. The fender height is 26", so the ride height is roughly stockish. I'll reevaluate if the springs need cut, once I get the 17's on.

I have cut 5660s with all Delrin (Global West) on the silver car. It's been great.
