Default Rear Strut "EYE" bushings?

Hello,

I'm having a little bit of an issue. I have a set of F&F type 2 coilovers, the 1st gen. I've had them for about 3 years. The coilovers are fine, but the rear strut "eye" bushing, on the bottom of the strut that bolts to the rear subframe has gone bad. It makes a REALLY annoying squeaking sound, and I can't find a replacement for them anywhere! I contacted F&F and they don't carry replacement bushings, but they did tell me they are the same dimensions as the stock bushings. Toyota doesn't sell the bushings seperate, I've called 3 dealers. I contacted Energy Suspension, and was just given a link to their website by a rep. I don't see anything on their website for them? I wasn't sure if there was anywhere that sells replacement bushings, or if anyone else has had this problem?

Thank You

BUMP! anyone? Now that I think of it I might have my stock struts still in my garage? Might have to try and swap them over.

Try getting freaky with lube lol. Maybe that will at least stop the squeaking for a bit.
