I want to say somebody was able to match up some poly bushings from an aftermarket company somewhere. I'll poke around and see if I can find the thread on it.

On edit: Found this thread, older thread, and not sure if Amir is still there, but the a search of the number brings a bunch of hits. 

Good luck!

There are Superpro bushings still available but you must be patient for them from Aus.

Search for Superpro in this forum.

Look here too. 5th post first page. Energy Suspension bushings.

I knew you were the man for this one.

SuperPro USA is located in Colorado, I've bought multiple sets of bushings from them in the past couple years.

I've spoken to the guy who runs the outfit.  If a local dealer doesn't carry the part you need (pretty common for the EAs) they'll ship it directly.  I'm really pleased with their service and quick responses.

Am I missing something?

I clicked on the eBay link for rear bushings above a few posts and pictures and describes 8 Bushes 4 Tubes

Surely only one tube and two bushes per trailing/ transverse arm?

Only one arm per side

Looks like kit does two cars?

The bushings are probably split to allow easy installation, don't have to press the new ones in.  Four bushing halves & two tubes per arm, for the two attachment points per arm.

Right.

Two each trailing arm, #9 in link & two each for the slotted toe-in plate mounted outboard on the cross member, #8 in link.
