Default Urethane shock bushings

Hey,
2000 VDP front end clunk turned out to be lower shock bushings disintegrated. I believe the shocks are still good so I want to find some urethane replacement bushings. Any ideas?

These folks don't do the shocks, but the control arms... https://www.powerflexusa.com/shop/ca...1997-2003-1985
But these guys do... https://www.carid.com/2000-jaguar-xj...ings-hardware/

Have you replaced your upper tower bushings? Because if your lower are toast, most evidently your tops are also.

The rubber lower bushings are cheap and last a while.. Second the upper bushings check too. Though urethane uppers tend to squeak/rattle esp in the cold, best to just get a foam oem-style assembly. Also if your rubber lower bushings are worn, and you're not in some heavily salted/corrosive area, it may be worth thinking about replacement shocks (they come with new bushings as well)
