SLP Torsion Arm Bushing for a 4th gen SS Camaro
I have a 25K mile 2002 SS Camaro with almost all SLP options (installed by the first owner - I'm the second) Among many other things, the car has aftermarket SLP Torsion Bars. The traction is great but one of the poly bushings at the transmission has self destructed. The end result is hard knocking/jerking during every shift (6-speed car). My problem is finding a replacement SLP Torsion Arm Bushing for a 4th gen SS Camaro. I talked to SLP this morning and they have apparently stopped production on these years ago. They were helpful, but referred me to BMR Suspention who then referred me to Energy Suspention, who then referred me to Summit. I'm getting frustrated! This is the front SLP Torsion Bar Bushing that mounts to the 6-speed tranny (or Tranny Cross Member to be more accurate). Do any of you guys know where to find the correct bushing for the 2002 SLP aftermarket Torsion Bars? I've already spent a lot of time on this today! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I found a shop here locally (Oregon) that says they can remanufacture this bushing with a Poly Epoxy. It won't be cheap, ($200- $300) but it seems like the only alternative at this point! It should be done some time this week. I'll let you know how it works out.

For $200-300 you can buy an aftermarket torque arm...

If your Torque Arm has a factory E/3 shaped nose then look no further.

First, our cars have no torsion bar. Its a torque arm and its not the same thing. Second, we need to see the front of that arm but generally that's about a $20 bushing. Please post a pic for us.
