torque strut bushings are the bushings for the lower control arms....goto autohuasaz.com and order them....~30 bucks a pop...when you replace them be very careful to mark the strut position since otherwise you have to have an alignment done....i would also replace the screws that go with it....good luck....its a pretty easy job if you if you are a wrencher.
