[Shotimes] end link bushings

[Steve Weinrich]

Energy Suspension makes red poly bushings, not the blue TPR bushings to the
best of my knowledge.

The blue ones are made for (or by) Moog.  If you have an O'Reilly's near
you, pick up the AutoDrive store brand of rear endlinks for about $8 each.
They are the Moogs (TPR) for half the price of the Moogs in the yellow and
blue box.  Yep, exact same product for half the price!.
