No one makes them anymore. GM discontinued the part and now you'll only find used ones on ebay. 93-02 Camaro Firebird Front Upper Control Arm Mount Rubber Bushing Isolator.

Best to clean and paint the area and probably coat with some grease if missing.

And yet you've found 0 even with the serial number, as had everyone else who have posted this same question over the years. You'd think on the largest 4th gen site someone would have tracked down a supplier by now. But the common response to this is to either track down a used one or just run without since it is the other one, the coil spring isolator bushing, that is the important one.

They aren't really a failure part and as such are probably rarely ever seen by most people. As such there isn't much incentive for a company to produce them.
