I did a bit of searching to find a replacement rubber bushing but came up empty.

Here is an on road comparison of the factory rubber vs energy polyurethane, it's pretty obvious.

Different story if the vehicle had a ladder frame and you could reduce NVS with rubber body mounts, I'll stick with the factory replacements and keep on top of any oil leaks.
That's great man, thanks for that. I hadn't realised how harsh the harder clevite would be. My mate in Brizzy has ordered some, so I will ask for his feedback as well.

My present factory mounts are quite new anyway, less than 500kms, so I'm in no particular hurry to do anything.

Thanks again.
