where/what bushings etc to buy

[N2TRUX]

I suggest you DO NOT buy polyurethane bushing. There are several companies including some of our Forum Vendors that sell poly-graphite bushing. The HUGE difference is that poly-graphite bushings are made of a graphite impregnated urethane. What this means to you is they firm and durable like polyurethane, but are self lubricated so they don't squeak. Fixed bushing such as body mounts aren't as critical, but any bushing that sees movement will eventually squeak like crazy if it's made from straight polyurethane.

I do ALOT of suspension work at my shop, and I agree with everything N2Trux has said 100%! Regarless of the make/model car or truck, poly bushings on moveable parts such as control arms, tie rods, ect. ALWAYS squeek! They do offer longer life, and a much more firm riding suspension and steering, but I'd have to say the Poly-graphite is the way to go!
