Lower control arm bushings are available...it is the upper control arm bushings you cannot get.
I suspect most L300 need them and no one is looking closely at them. DUe to the torsion bars attaching to the top control arm it puts High loads on the bushings...

Re: UPPER Control Arm Bushings
I have had poor results replacing the upper control arm bushing alone- that is buying just the bushings, knocking out the old ones and pinching new bushings into the old control arm. I think Mitsubishi only sells the control arm with bushings together for a good reason. The bushing housing on the upper control arm didn't seem to be designed to have its bushing replaced.

Re: UPPER Control Arm Bushings
I just got my Montaro Kit from Lordco...does not look like it will work (I will bring it to the Meet Nov 18 at IKEA)....
I just ordered a pair of used control arms with good bushings (hoping I can use my old control arms and find a NA bushing that will work for the future). I will post the swap and solutions.
Cheers
