    Yeah similar to some parts of the Corolla and the matrix and those types of bodies I would assume your Toyota dealer would have a pretty nice black and white drawing as any of the big suspension companies like suspension techniques ibach and a few others I imagine online just speaking to Google about this diagram start popping up pretty quickly most of the bushings are pretty standard size wise so a lot of the poly bushing makers will have something on the shelf that can work You're saying Polly so I'm assuming you're using these in other vehicles you're using so that's why the reference tightening up the suspension with urethane bushings quite often can wake up new creaks and groans.

    Thank you Mendel. That's hugely important and useful
    I currently have metal bumping against metal and need to order the correct bushes.
    Best Regards

    Thank you Tom. Another member posted the diagrams so I will be able to order the correct bushings. One supplier suggested that rubber bushings would be more appropriate. Maybe because of what you said about creaks and groans.
    Best regards

    The car is already old The metal is thin and all of that It was a manufactured that way certainly unless you're going racing or something tightening up all your suspension components and bushings with polyurethane or hard material like that is going to magnify every creek and groan you could possibly imagine but that's what happens when you go-kart a car which is essentially kind of what you're doing with polyurethane so just take the kids go kart for a spin you know the gas powered kind so you can remember what that's like that's kind of like what you'll be doing to your car with hard bushings aluminum urethane etc rubber is forgiving on purpose that's why the car manufacture used it because it's in the suspension which we want to be somewhat forgiving and keep things quiet somewhat but good luck with your project like I say most of those bushings will be the same for many models of car it's just the diameter and the thickness and the hole in the middle
