Well, I'm deep into my celica rebuild and I'm at the suspension finally. After taking it for a couple test drives i I've noticed it to be super bouncy and floaty which had me looking for new struts and springs. But upon further research I've found thats its probably the bushings from 1994 that are the main reason for the unpredictable ride. Ive been trolling the internet far and wide for bushing replacement options. And i haven't turned up much. What are some options for replacing the bushings in an st204?

You essentially have two options for bushings- you can either buy the poly bushings from Poland, which are great, or you can buy replacement control arms. We are unfortunately very limited on bushing options.

There are, but Toyota sells them as part of the control arms.

There are others that make bushings besides Mr Poland. Search on Google, I found it in the first two pages. SS and regular.
