I just bought factory ones from Joe. They were cheap, and the ride is less harsh than it would be with poly.

i hear you i am not concerned w/the ride the most of my rear bushings are poly - do u have the old ones to measure??

The bushings are kind of oval, probably to maintain friction in the press-fit. I measure 1.757-1.789 on the OD of the outer steel sleeve. The sleeve has a wall thickness of about .072, so if you left it in, the bushing would have to be on the order of 1 5/8 - 1 3/4 depending on how tight you wanted it. FYI the factory bushing is eccentric to put more meat under the bolt.
