98 XK8 Polyurethane Bushings

I been taking in all of the information from the threads since I bought my XKR in May. Matt, Gus, Jagtechohio, Brutal, and all of the other contributors, we should be thanking them for such a informative forum instead of bashing them. Thank You Gentleman, many of us know your not getting the recognition you deserve.

I want to say thank you but I truly do not fall into the category I do not have the skill sets or the qualifications as the others mentioned and I would like to add TestPoint and many others to this list.
This forum is not about the kudos it is about helping others. I have used many other forums and this is my main (home) forum because it is free from un-necessary criticism and condescending remarks. We all have something to add at times it may not help but the intent was there.
The one most important thing I want to add is that the techs and talented people add value for free to this forum to help in our efforts to fix our own cars. Treat them with respect! And to the many people that provided me help I say Thank You.

Polyurethane Bushings ...
Recently it has come to my attention that my 98 XK8 is due for bushings at the shocks and upper control arms. It is my understanding that there have beennumerous issues with these specific bushings on this series car. Given this I was looking to replace these with polyurethane bushings. Is anyone aware of a manufacturer or distributor that would have these? I’ve used the ones from energy suspension in the past, but they do not currently have a product for the XK8.
Best,
JL

This is not an endorsement .. have no history with this vendor. But they do have an excellent graphic of all the bushings for front and rear along with pricing. Well done numbered nomenclature for us see-point-click guys. Going in for balance and alignment next Tuesday, and the shop up here is really strack about suspension health .. gotta be **** up, or no go on their machine. Well shall see .. '03 XK8 75K

good link attaboy! I need to find my clunk in the rear, perhaps this is fate?
Ordered the end link rubber, and sway bar bushings from these guys, as mine look like old butterscotch life savers (end link bushes), figured the sway bars were gone also, and they have the old split on the bottom too.
I'll do another thread with these project details in the future.
