My front lower control arm bushings are shot. Tried looking up bushings but, Energy suspension does not seem to have them. Anyone know where to get these?

I can't seem to find much in the way of control arm bushings besides some place in Australia that makes metal race-type ones for the Supra,that are the same as on our cars.
Have been thinking about making a set from UHMW,as the groaning and squeeking is getting old,besides they just feel worn out,and my new tires/wheels/Supra springs,shocks will deserve better when I install everything next spring.
Maybe I should make a couple sets,huh?
I'm sure the Supra guys would be into it.

SCV8,
Have you checked out the bushings? You mentioned groans and squeeks....that sounds like sway bar bushings. The lower control arm bushings will clunk over bumps, right?
The lower arms were replaced under warranty on my 92SC but the sway bar bushings cause the creaking, sweaking noise over dips.
Hope this helps
