I thought our truck came with polyurethane bushings stock?

Even my 1997 TBird sport has them.

To answer your question, I know Energy Suspension carries them...dunno if they have anything Lightnings-specific though.

They're out there, not L-specific to my knowledge, I have a set on my shelf awaiting install (a REAL BIATCH from reports from those that have em).

Stock bushings are NOT poly.

Search might turn up the part number(s). Bought mine from JC Whitney.

Yup...

Energy suspension sells them.

Install is an amazing PITA.

Bushings have to burned/pressed off and then pressed on. Expect to pay someone 4-8 hours of labor to do the whole job.

The good news is the bushings are only about $50...

Do a search on my name and bushings and you'll get more info.

Like all poly bushings, you have to lube them liberaly with white lithium grease.

I have them installed. Big difference. Major PITA to install. No squeeks after more than 20k miles on them. Not worth it unless you really carve up the twisties on a regular basis.
