I've seen a few posts recently about issues with replacement rubber bushes.

I have done heaps of parts matching with the US GM cars years ago and most if not all the Holden and torana suspension bushes are straight from the GM parts bin, not Holden specific.

Moog part number K6108 for the front UCA bushes appear to match exactly with Toranas and Holdens.
I haven't ordered a set to verify but dimensions and appearance match original Holden.

Moog part K5161 is front lower control arm and all diff and trailing arm bushes. I have many poly graphite bushes of this part here and they press in beautifully and the moog looks same as original Holden except the crush tube.

There are many many different type of alternative type bushes for these applications too if you want to change from rubber.

Looks to me like upper and lower bump stops were borrowed from GM A body's too, but I haven't done the exercise to match up dimentions exactly.

Moog seems to get a good wrap from the guys in the US over other brands of rubber bushes too.

Might come in handy if the local option are not up to spec anymore.
