I got the, IIRC, Prothane 4-1118 20mm bushing set (both bushings) for $5.55 from AJUSA.com. I replaced them just because since I had to get other bushings so shipping wasn't really a factor in price for me. $5.55 > $12 and Poly > Rubber, so that's a double win.

Damn, I got the Chrysler Bushings for $8 bucks total. 10 minute job took 3 hours after ALL 4 BOLTS broke off into the frame. No matter what we did, soak them in PB Blaster, wrench or impact. They all broke, so originally they were all 13mm, we drilled out the bolt, tapped them to 5/8 and stuck some long bolts in there.

Must live back East or the car came from back East. Seems to be a more common thing for suspension/chassis stuff to do that because of the winter months.

Yeah she was definitely more than a little rusty, but surprisingly my brake lines and my fuel lines look pristine, looks like the brake lines were coated from the factory and the fuel lines are straight steel.
