Default cradle bushings for a 92

I have a 92 Allante that needs cradle bushings. I have searched around but am not finding any reliable options. I know they are discontinued, but is there workable alternates. Part numbers please. I even read of someone using hockey pucks.

4 of the front sub frame mounts are availible from GM. They are the top and bottom of the 4 main positions, they also fit Eldo& Seville. The futherest rear on both side are discontinued, Allante only, but maybe availible thru VIP GMs old part buyer and seller. I am surprised you need them they're pretty much a solid mount. Try your local dealer.

My rear most ones are the ones that are the problem, those are the unique ones. The metal parts of the mounts are badly corroded, the metal is just flaking away. As long as I was changing those I figured I'd change them all. Thanks for the input, I'll pick up what I can at the dealer and keep looking for the others.

The Allante only parts. Not all dealers will deal with VIP, but if they have them it will show up on dealer parts locater. VIP sells parts to dealer at a price they can still sell at factory list price. They are normally a pay in advance type part and not returnable. If you order it you own it. Dealer parts managers do not like to get anything that they could be stuck with, and have to write off the because there is no buyer for it.You may have to ask parts person if VIP has it, if not he should be able to give you part number - it's suppose to be discontinued but p/n still exists.
