Rubber bushings for the rear axle

[TTM]

Hello,

I intend to replace all rubber bushings on the rear axle in the short term and would be interested to hear if companies other than Porsche can supply them, as some of them are pretty expensive...

Thanks.

Why not fit Powerflex poly-bushes whilst you're at it, as they're a lot cheaper and arguably perform better? The only ones you can't get are the pad type ones used for the locating 'blades', which need to be ordered from Porsche. Just make sure you're sitting down when they hand you the bill [&:]...

Not interested in poly bushes, as I want to retain a decent level of NVH and do not wish to improve handling to a point I would push the car even harder than I already do.
I am also quite unsure how durable poly bushes would be.

The bushings for the side plates are actually the only ones that I already have - they are available from Elephant racing in the US.

I'm doing my bushes currently I have purchased the Elephant racing spring plate bushes the OEM spec rubber ones $120 pair got porsche trailing arm bushes £100 pair(4off) and porsche torsion bar support bushes £90 pair

my attempt at removing the old bushes went like a house on fire[]

Are you sure you have not forgotten 2 bushes?

I can count 4 pairs in total.

OH NO[]

What am i missing

Trailing arm to torsion Bar carrier..... (4 bushes)
Spring plate......................................( 4 bushes)
Trorsion bar carrier to Body................(2 bushes)

Torsion bar carrier to body : I see 4 bushes (two pairs).

There are 5 pairs in total, but I won't replace the ones in the trailing arms.

OH yes[]

those bolt on ones are very expensive, I took a chance and ordered a used set from LARS parts in the USA they are in very good near perfect condition I guess No salt in the roads in California and they only cost me £20 per pair.

these will be one of the very few used bits that I've fitted on the car so I may change my mind at the last minute and buy new ones but it is something like £430 for the 4 bushes[X(]
