Default Front bushes, rare part now?

Im after a set of bushes for my 1990 Series 2. Its the bush that sits inside the spring on the strut itself, and acts as a dust guard also.

Ive tried all the usual place, but no luck. Anybody know where I can get them, have any for sale?

Cheers
Wayne

That sounds like a proper name for what im trying to describe. Has kind of a ribbed look.

Those are for the rear struts only. I think he is looking for the front ones which are different in shape and has more ribs along the sides.

listed as a fiesta item but the description says it fits the escort rs turbo, might be worth firing them a message to confirm it will fit

Bump stops it is, helps the googling when you know what you are looking for.

Im only after a front set, as one side has rotted, and the other is creaking like mad.

The Ford Finis code is 6150277 if you want to try Ford.

Could always get uprated polyurethane ones - just over £20 a pair
