I am a small company which only started in 2020, just before covid. But I do have a lot of experience repairing classic cars and do give technical advice also. The bushes for you car are made new in Thailand by the old manufacturer for Toyota, on special order by me I had to order 100 of each. So they are new and not unlike what sometimes is offered on Ebay, NOS or New old stock. That will also guarantee that they will last a long time.
If you are thinking of an alternative like
PolyUrethane bushes, I would advice you not to do that. Due to their hardness,
polyurethane bushings often lead to a bumpy ride. Since they're not as good at
dampening, passengers are also subjected to a lot more noise and vibration. Maybe they are cheaper and there will be companies that can make them (although
difficult because of the way the bushes are installed you need an outer metal bush),
but PU bushes are giving a lot of maintenance as well as noise on situations
like this with double wishbone suspension. PU bushes are basically plastic and when
they get wet, they will expand and create sqeaking noises. Furthermore PU
bushes need also greasing every year to prevent those sqeaking noises. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwlofW23Jyk
Now there are some DIY ways to treat the bushes, but that will not work on bushes
that can get wet. The Teflon tape used to get rid of the sqeaking will also
attract water , expand and disintegrate.
