Yeah, email Warwick or find a suspension shop that sells the 'SuperPro' brand of bushes. They are the equivalent of Nolathane, and some people reakon they are better and last longer. Its just a replacement urathane bush but people like brand names. :roll: :lol:

When you ask them for the bushes, they might say that they don't have them for non-super-strut AE101. Ask them for AE92 bushes instead, as they are pretty much the same suspension wise and the bushes should fit. :D They are about $20 for a set (Retail).

AFAIK front suspension bushes are just round shaped, they are not like the rears where they have a flat edge to them. I had the same type of problem when I replaced mine a while back, as I thought the fronts may have had a flat edge to them too but they dont.

I ended up buying some genuine bushes off Warwick, but if you go into SAS they will sell you some universal Superpro or Nolathanes. I know the front sway bar on S/S is 24mm, dont see why non should be diff
