We will produce some teflon bushings on our own...
I don't know when the car goes to garage, but soon

Bjoern, since you have still your diablo struts, can you check what is written on the bushing?
The Ferrari piece costs about 50 Euro and is available, I suppose WA is for Way Assauto, remember that brand? it's the brand of the QV struts...

Sorry for the bad quality, I try to make a better photo tomorrow

Raymond,
Yes, Diablo bushings (checked only the rears) are stamped W.A.U622.
From where are these Ferrari bushings available? Maybe you can verify if they can supply the QV bushing WA-4190 also?

why don't you guys just post some deminsions so we can let a set of vernier calipers do all the work?

Bjoern,

WA U622 is used in 328, 348 and 512 BB and also in Testarossa's, price her is about $60 at the Ferrari Dealer. Take care you take the cheapest one, belonging to the model the price is different, 12-cylinder drivers have to pay more

I had a mail from Paul Placek, he used the original Countach bushings part no 008921704...

Did anybody try to get them?

I didn't realize they were available as a separate part from the factory. Great info.
When again looking in the parts manual it describes above part number as a "bolt". In italian it says "estendblock x ammortizzatori".

In the LP400 manual they are simply called "Snodo", on the LP500s "column joint" and the italian name you mentioned. On the QV from chassis 910 on they called it "silent bloc". Seems they learned a little bit of english during the years...

Also the 25th manal mentions the same number and name.

The LP400 has a completely different number, from Lp500s to 25th they used the same bushing.
I'm trying to find another source to get them since the factory bills $55/piece what is too much ime, for all 6 struts we need 12 which leads to a total price of almost 1,5 struts...

Perhaps Chad could help us too?

So you confirm they are USD 55.00 and available from the factory!?
Let us know if you find another source. Have you tried Arvin Meritor? I wonder if they have some sort of connection with W.A. Auto.

We tried Arvin Meritor in Switzerland, they have no clue about Way Assauto, we also contacted some dealers in Italy to get those pieces.

Paul from Lambo Australia used always the original WA 4190, I don't know if they are available at the moment since we are waiting for confirmation.
Since mine look very good we could use the old ones, just putting the lower ones on top and vice versa.

Since we were not able to source new bushings we simply used the old ones...
