Rear Spring Plate Bushings

[leadrsa729]

Hi Everyone -

Does anyone know a source where I can find the poly-graphite bushings, both inner and outer, for spring plates off of a 72' 911? I'm having a hard time finding them. Thanks for the help!

Can I just say

DONT!
I did a complete suspension upgrade and poly graphite bushings - I love everything EXCEPT those bushings - I am now facing a re-do because they are garbage. Wish I would have never put them in AND they were a PITA to "fit" - had to rework them because they are CAST and really whacked on dimensional size, roundness and flatness (parallel faces that meet the spring plates - were like 10 degrees off...)

now they squeak - A LOT !

You just described the route cause of squeaking bushings...guys don't fit them properly. Most guys just shove everything together and tighen doen the bolts and think it's good.

With the polygrahite bushings, I always machine them to fit.

Why not go with the very well liked Elephant Racing Poly Bronze bushings? Best of all worlds from what I've read/heard. Although for my rebuild I chose the ER rubber bushings (no squeek, good ride, improvement over stock).

I just installed a set of Elephant Racing rubber bushing on a '66...waaaaaaaay to easy of a job! Fit like a glove and I am happy to have them!

Looks great! I'm just about to do a full suspension refresh/upgrade over the Christmas break, so I'll be adding some pics like this very soon.

Elephant Racing poli work really well for both street and track. IMHO.
