How long will GM continue to produce 1LE parts? I just ordered 1LE rear control arms and a 1LE panhard rod. I'm just concerned that, when those 1LE bushings eventually wear down, will I still be able to buy new 1LE bushings to replace them? I've also heard that prices for 1LE parts have risen over the years. A few years ago, 1LE rear control arms per pair were around $80. Now, they're at $124 per pair from Dal Slabaugh (not including shipping). I guess that would be normal, because the f-body is discontinued and there is only a limited supply of new f-body parts available? I don't know. Thanks in advance for the info.

I wouldn't waste my money on a 1LE PHR unless you race and they are against the rules. Rod ends are the best choice there.
Sorry I can't help you with the availabilty question, but the LCA bushings should last the life of the car.
As far as front suspension bushings go, I've heard the MOOG brand is the equivalent of the 1LE.
