Re: Polyurethane control arm bushings...which one??
If Superpro has what you need, what's the use for OEM part numbers? Or, I missed something. ???Jack_James wrote: ↑Sun Oct 12, 2025 12:42 pm So nobody had any ideas what to suggest tho for manufacturer or part number? I know there's a lot of talk here but nobody has suggested much other than talk to other people lol yet here I am trying to talk to anyone.

Superpro listing...Or is this the wrong site?
Do you have a list of Superpro part numbers for all bushings for the XR?
I'd be interested to see what they have and learn more about their offerings.

Get the Rapido stuff. It's just not worth getting something that is already 10-20 years old, installing it, and then having to do the job a second time in the near future because they all disintegrate.
German cars do not break all the time.

I guess I wonder if these are the same as what Russ was selling.
At some point in time, after Russ had passed, there were discussions that they needed to find a new maker for these.
So, anything post Russ is somewhat of an unknown...

Re: Polyurethane control arm bushings...which one??
If you bought something from a seller (say on Ebay) you might get a brand like energy suspension, but those might be old inventory. That's why I say it could be something old. Who knows, you may get something manufactured more recently. If they were from Mike or Jeff I'd trust them.

That should list everything for our car.
Rapido makes polyurethane bushings? Man I wish everything wasn't on social media. I cannot stand Facebook of Instagram. Google showed nothing available from our known vendors.
I'll reach out to them but shipping might be more due to tarrifs. I just paid $65 for a tiny box from the USA and I'm on primarily on disability income lol. Superpro is from Australia and they usually ship directly to Canada.
