I had my car on a lift today and noticed that a bushing in the rear suspension is rotted in half. Its location is where the lateral link connects to the torsion beam. I have a link here to a pic,(I hope it works.) I circled the bushing I need. I'm hoping someone knows a part#??? Or better, are there aftermarket pollyurethane bushings??

Thanks for the help; and keep an eye on your bushings.

also the car only has 50,000miles

 

Are you sure it's rotted?

That bushing is very unique. It is designed to be compliant laterally (soft side to side) but stiff vertically (stiff up and down). It has a very wierd shape.

Take a pic, and post that...

 

thanks for the info, i will take a closer look. But I do live in New England where the salt can do a number on the undercarrage. Anyway thanks for lookin.

 

I tried to look that part up on my parts list, but there wasn't a specific part number for that piece. The closest to it points to the metal piece that connects to the bushing you want, which is part number 55130-2J010, called the Lateral rod.

hope you get to find what you're looking for.
