Hi all! Hope everyone's enjoying the holidays!

Recently my 59 series 62 flat top had developed a clunking/knocking noise coming from the rear of the car. I replaced the shocked several times, tightened the bumper and trunk. The noise continued. 

Today I went back under the car and saw that the driver side rear trailing arm bushing was completely shot. 

I am wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best place/site to buy these trailing arm bushings. 

I have heard many poor reviews on some of these reproduction bushings so Id like to know where a good place to get them would be. 

Thanks!

I am retailer for Rare Parts and can offer a discount with the listed price on their website.  Depending on order amount, it will be something over cost.

Looks like the parts are currently out of stock.

I installed the bushings from RareParts last year, on my '59. 
Seemed to be good quality to me.
