I've got almost everything mechanical taken care of on my '88 VDP but I need to replace my lower control arm bushings. I've already removed the control arms from the car but now I need to purchase new bushings. What brands seem to work well on these cars and hold up over time. I live in a hot South Florida climate and have heard that certain brands tend to dry rot quickly. Any suggestions?

 

LEMFÖRDER was the manufacturer of the original bushings, but the last time I checked they were no longer making XJ40 bushings. You can check their online catalog here:

My best advice would be to contact our forum sponsors, who can help you find the best currently-available options.

Cheers,

When I went through the Moneyfunnels front end, I went with the Rock Auto whose offering was URO as I recall. Havent had a problem with them, but cant compare as "Rogers" are original as far as I know.
