I have polyurethane all throughout my car front to back. I went with Pedders for some stuff, Energy Suspension for other stuff. I had to do some measuring because Energy Suspension doesn't make a kit for the BF, but I got the universal bushings for the sway bars which was reasonably priced. I went with Pedders for the lower control arms and I even got some Honda Civic Energy Suspension pieces because of some Civic brackets I used on the rear sway bar.

you can cross reference pedders australian catalog: http://www.pedders.com.au/catalogue
its more comprehensive than any info on the pedders usa site. i looked it up for my BJ bushings, US/AU part numbers are the same.

Cheers. There is a Chrysler dealer in Toronto that will order from Pedders Australia. I let him know what I needed and Pedders will get back to him with a list and pricing for everything that I need. Fingers Crossed

the entire front can be done with off the shelf parts from Pedders. the rear sway bar, energy from autozone off the shelf.
Rear lateral arms and rear trailing arms CAN be done. Energy Suspension has generic bushing of all dimensions. What I did was clean a spare set of arms (all 6) and the bolts/ alignment eccentrics, found the closest bushings... then had to drill out the (4) there the eccentrics went through.
On the knuckle/spindle side I had to create a shim-pack/spacer to keep the rear most lateral arm from walking off the bushing. No biggie... grade 8 washer pack on the knuckle side to keep the arm in place.
I will see if I can find the bushing #'s and get some pics of the car when I get home in 5 weeks.
