Default More dogbone bushing questions

at <a href="http://www.ttstuff.com/performance_suspension.php">TT Stuff</a>, they have both Powerflex dogbone bushings <b>and</b> Energy Suspension dogbone bushings. What is the difference and which is recommended?

As for torquing down the bolts, will my big torque wrench for my wheel bolts be suitable or will it not be sensitive enough for these bolts? It is a decent $99ish craftsman but I doubt it has the sensitivity for those bolts.

Lastly, who else has the bushings in stock other than TT Stuff.

Thanks!

Default The energy suspension one is fine...>

In stock for $16 at the place below. Just ordered one and had it in a few days for a customer. You'll get (and only need) the 2 large pieces. I've never used a T-Wrench on these but my wrist is pretty well calibrated. Tight is good.

Do they stock the bolts as well, or should I just get those from the local dealer?
