    Nah... I don't want those, they're too expensive/limited... I'm looking for off-the-shelf... thanks tho for pointing those out.

    The stock bushings are "slotted" rubber...

    the only other ones I know of are the Moog ones, and I'm wondering if they're solid rubber.

    Probably the only other choice for what you want.
    Or you can go to a dealership.

    If you go to a stealership ask if you can get them for free
    seeing how you gave GM your tax dollars.

    The Moog ones are slotted also... look carefully:

    You can always replace the upper with a aftermarket poly bushing.

    I wanted to avoid poly...

    the upper looks like it sees only pivoting-motion and no twisting-motion (like the rear lca's), so poly may be a good idea.

    Thanks.

    That would be theonly position I would advocate the use of poly. I use delalum bushes and the UCA from Global west since 1999. Pricey though.
