    Sadly,most are now off shore made and rubber quality is sub standard so look on the box if it says China or India keep walking.Since you kept the make of your car secret thats about the best advice I have. Energy Suspension (USA Made) is a real good product but limited coverage.

    Gotta tell you, if you have never used urethane suspension bushings be prepared to be suprised in a noticably rougher ride, maybe more performance but rougher. I have did several with them and none are as smooth as factory bushings, last muscle car was a chevelle and used PST graphite impregnated, it stops the squeaks of the pure urethane and seemed the best I have tried, none are cheap.

    I had a buddy with a '67 vette with all Energy Suspension bushings and you needed a mouth piece to ride in the thing, sold the car it rode so rough, rode much smoother with factory rubber.

    Poly bushings also squeak. As well, they don't last as long as OEM rubber.

    I hear the polygraphite don't squeak.

    I can't believe how that last line came out...
    Sorry, but I'm studying poetry in literature, and it jumped out at me as soon as I had tapped it out.

    Now back to our previously scheduled program...

    They would be for a Tri-Five chevy.Guy is wanting stock OE rubber bushings.
    OH I took the poly bushings out of my car ten years and put rubber back in, I didn't like it on the street. Rough and squeaky.
    Thanks
