My rear bushings (the doughnut ones) are worn out after only 3 years. I'd like to replace them with better quality bushings - does that mean urethane? I'd love suggestions for bushings that aren't crap, and where to buy them.
I already bought and returned a red urethane set because I thought they wouldn't work - rear bushings didn't have a metal outer sleeve but rubber all the way through with lips on the top and bottom. They also didn't have the voids in the bushing that I'm used to seeing on the black rubber. Will those work? I was skeptical.

Re: quality control arm bushing options
Use r32 bushings. Urethane are crap if you car isn't lowered and you springs arent stiff. The outer circle doesn't like to be moved reletive to the center hole that's why they only work good if your control arms are parallel with the road. R32 bushings are good rubber and solid like poly but more forgiving while still comfortably improving your corning and such.
