[T3] T3 Front end bushings

[Keith Park]

I probably have a set, if the bushings are bad the torsion arms themselves
will be all scored up and bad too.  Check the bearings carefully, once the
bushings go the bearings can get bad too.

Hello, all.

My squareback's control arm bushings - am I calling them the right name? -
are shot.  
No luck finding them at any of the usual suppliers (WCM, ISP, Bill&Steve,
etc).
Anyone have some, or even one, in usable condition?

These are the bushings that go around the ends of the torsion bars, just
inboard of the lower control arms.  
Are they the same right and left?

I'd love to hear anyone's ideas for a work-around, or adapting bushings from
another car?   

Happy holidays.
