Seth,

How old is your car?  About 25 years - and your just getting around to 
replacing the bushings.  How old are you?  If you're over 50, I don't
think you'll out live the rubber bushings.

That said, the only source for urethane bushings I know if is:
Ron Waters (rbw@classicone.com).  He's very big in the AMC circules.
