Rear track bar bushing replacement? Help!

My rear strut bushing is gone, and I was wondering which bushing is the correct one to replace it with?

i.e: bushing that goes on the bottom mount.
shopping


Are the bushings same between the 2nd and 3rd gens?
I've seen:

Track Bar Bushing - Energy Suspension (8.7104G) which states it's for the 2nd gen (90-95)

and

Amazon.com: Energy Suspension 5.7111G Front Track Bar Bushing Set: Automotive which states it's for 3rd gen, but the <front> track bar bushing.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure the front strut/track bar/eyelet uses a metal insert bushing, whereas the rear is just a regular bushing... no?

If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm assuming you're referring to the bushing for the bottom shock mount on your rear shock as opposed to the trac/panhard bar. Which shocks are you running...looks like blisteins in the pic? You may want to call the company you bought it from or the manufacturer to find out the correct bushing.

That is correct, the bushings for the bottom shock.
I thought the "track bar" bushing didn't sound right. The shocks came with the car, and I'm not sure of the make.


Thank you! I'll measure the ID of my shocks and try those!
 
IIRC the OEM bushing is a 2pc rubber which doesn't even need to be pressed in. You can get the pieces from any dealership, they aren't expensive as I recall. They should fit any aftermarket replacement that doesn't come with it's own bushings.

The bushing in your picture appears to be a 2pc as well, so no pressing required. S2000's link is about Tundra billsteins specifically, which is completely different, it is pressed in. Stock rears are not pressed in. Aftermarkets may be different, but this is true for OEM.
