Who and where do you recommend for all new rubber suspension bushings. I am going to remove my old crumbling rubber bushings and replace with new ones. I know rovers north has them any place less expensive that comes to mind? I want to tighten up my handling on road. Thanks!

I replaced mine with a polybush kit not as cheap as std landrover replacement items but well worth it, Road handling is much much better and they last longer than the metalized rubber bushes do
Thanks, I really want to keep the rubber because I want the flex off-road. I use the d-90 in the dirt and the street alot. I think the rubber offers the best of both worlds. Thanks

From what I have heard the poly bushings don't hold up well if you offroad, they don't like flexing nearly as much as the stock rubber bushings.

I would guess RDS or DAP would have the best prices on rubber bushings.
