2nd Generation Where can I get aftermarket 2nd Gen front sway bar bushings?

I have an '88 camry wagon. The front sway bar to control arm bushings are SHOT! I need new ones. The are an arm and a leg from the dealer. And I don't think I can get the nut off the end of the sway bar. It is rusted on from day one. I might go to the junk yard and find the best one out there that isn't rusty. But I would still like to put a fresh set of bushing in. I would also like to replace the swaybar to car bushings (one in front, hold the bar to car).

Any idea where I can get a new set cheap, non dealer options? Or where I can get aftermarket urethan?

Thanks

Energy Suspension has universal pieces. I know Autozone has some in stock, and can order others.

Try Ebay for the control arms w/ bushings already installed... get the swaybar to body bushings from the dealer.

I took the pictures from the e-bay sellers and went to a independent auto parts shop that specializes in parts for Japanese cars. They had a vendor who distributes the parts, and I ordered them. They met the E-bay price, in fact they were a few dollars cheaper. I had the new control arms with new ball joints the next day.

Two more things I found--the auto parts store had 2 vendors for the parts. One was priced at dealer price, more than $200 a side. The other vendor I ordered was $70/side.

The other weird thing--on E-bay they're advertised as non-handed. Same part fits both the right and left side. The parts I ordered were different for the right and left sides. I saw a small difference between sides where they mount to the car, and I believe the one size fits all won't work.
