Hi mate welcome to the club!
where are you located?
I am in need of rear trailing arm bushes also. no aftermarkets available.. well maybe the fordy ones fir but I don't want to be the demo to find out(incase car then becomes off the road again)
I am onto Gunther at total mps about them..
But a US company Hardrace performance do solid poly ones. which might be the route to go but.... not to sure on how harsh the rear will be!
