We had one guy in Estonia, who did custom polyurethane bushings, but now he has moved somewhere else.
Measured the rear axle and will send energy e-mail that do they have any universal ones on that size.

I think I found a poly bushings for rear axle. These are universal bushes from Energy and in first it looks like it suits with the dimensions of rear axle tubing.

Dimensions can be found here

I measured the rear axle tubing for inner diameter - 1.73" and for length 2.55". Looks like we have a winner. Only I have not measured the bolt diameter. Will do this in evening.

If you take a look at the stock bushings, you can see they only have flange on other side, making that fit inside the mount in the frame may need some lathe time.

Also, I measured the bolt yesterday. Stock is 12mm, but these bushes need 16mm.

Just order a replacement one from rockauto, and take it to your machinist to multiply.

Man you are lucky. Parts have to be hard to get there(take it easy).
