I wouldn't have thought they were available as a seperate part Anthony. The bottom bush comes as part of the damper/strut unit, a bit like when you buy a new TCA.

Doesn't anyone make poly bushes for there? You could always measure the size required then email a few poly bush companies, might find they do some for another reason but will fit there too?

Have a look here; http://superflex.co.uk/categories.php?cat=73

My only experience of this company are when I bought a full front set on my first G about 6/7 years ago. I tore a pair of bushes tore after a short while (a week or two I think?) on the front somewhere, told them, they made some hardened versions for me but it took about 4 months for them to arrive as I believe they're an Aussie company and had to make them then ship them, etc.

I'd sold the car by then and forgot what I did with them. So, good customer service, just took an age to get harder shore versions due to logisitics/ manufacturing reasons I imagine. No idea if they offer different options as a result nowadays.
