So my bushings in the front and rear of my 2000 RT are all dried up and ripped and are leaking. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy new ones. I am looking for Urethane ones. I was old energysuspension has full kits front and rear, tranny, engine etc at a good price.

yeah sorry its probably my ball joints there was oil on all four above my control arms. Thats when the mechanic noticed that my bushings are dried up and recomended changing them. He didn't know where the oil was coming from or why.

Scott (SVRT) has a great set of bushings and is very helpful. I'm running all of his stuff on my car.

Something to remember about urethane is that it tends to squeak if the lube dries out. It certainly will help in the handling dept., but as always their are trade offs. The outside of a rubber bushing can look rough and cracked, yet the inside may be in good condition. Oil oozing out of the ball joint boot is common and in no way means the ball joint is bad. Grease sitting over time tends to seperate into it's lighter and heavier ends.
