Default urethan bushings for H3 leaf springs - where to buy?

where can I get urethane bushings (or polyurethan bushes) for my Hummer H3 leaf springs. If not available, does anybody know where to buy original (OEM parts online to be sent to an address in the US)

Thanks for any help

Aren't these bushings rather hard and used to improve handling? I read an article that said they are noisey and squeak a lot.

That's my understanding of the urethane trade-off too. I think the solution is to use waterproof moly wheel bearing grease when fitting them on springs and swaybars.

For a daily driver H3, I'd just use zero maintenance rubber bushings and replace them whenever they fail. If you want to avoid going to a dealer, I can't imagine why they wouldn't be available at any autoparts store. For mailorder, just google "GM parts wholesalers".

Replacing spring bushings is a pain, you may need a press to swap them out anyway. This may be a reasonable job to hand-off to your favorite local repair shop.

Thanks for the help. I checked online *** suggested and according to GM-car-parts the bushing is part of the leaf springs and not sold separately. Unbelievable !!!
