Need a permanent solution for my car's LCA bushings

This is my car's second set and it only has 71 kms on it... They arent covered under warranty anymore. I could care less about a handling upgrade, it's a base model car.

But is there an aftermarket LCA with a better styled bushing than the OEM one? Or is there a better bushing out there?

YOu guys live in Canada but you must live under a rock. Like try search? The answer is OTTP CABS are the ultimate solution but you need FE5 arms. That can be had, in fact these cabs are made in Canada eh?. Talk to Josh or Sean...

They replace the bushings on my GF's 2005 at 19,000 and 30,000.

The bushing is rubber and steel glued together. The steel rusts and starts to push the glue away which lead to total seperation. Toyota has problems with the same bushings and blames it on the salt we use on the roads.
