I am trying to find new bushings for my rear wheel hubs. Installing new bearing and seals now just need the bushings. Can anyone direct me to a place that sells them? Or would it be easier to buy used good hubs?
Install DTSS eliminators. The OE rubber bushing is not available, and if you procure used hubs they probably won't have good bushings in them either. The eliminator bushings are solid delrin, and will be around $50 or less. The car will be much more stable with the solid bushings.

They easy to install blk88t2? Are those all the bushings to do both complete hub assemblies?
Getting the hub off is pretty easy. Getting the old bushings out and the new ones in is a different story. I'd highly recommend using a press, it'll be pretty damn tough without one. Overall it's not terrible though.
You can also replace the upper bushing in the rear trailing arm. PBM makes these for about $30. This bushing upgrade is not critical, the DTSS deletes are much more important. But these do not need to be rubber after you install DTSS eliminators. Definately replace them if your rubber upper bushing looks bad or has excessive movement. If you are really looking for really sharp handling, you may just want to do this anyway. The lower mount is a pillow ball, so if it does not have slop, it is solid and fine to leave in place. The replacement bushing is here in gold.
