I know there have been multiple discussions about this. However, I have not found a definitive list of parts that can be used for the battlewagons for body mount replacements. I got under the car the other day to fix a couple other things and noticed some squished mounts. I would like to plan out a time to get these all replaced. I'd prefer to replace with stock, but will pretty much take whatever I can get.

I replaced all my body mount on my wagon, uppers, lowers, and a bunch of the bolts as well. I used a few 9C1 bushing up front to help tighten things up. It was a bit more work, and money than I had planed, but the results were good. The black energy suspension kit for a Caprice/police/taxi may be the best way to go, as the factory stuff is no longer available.

Do the sedan kits have the same amount of bushings as the wagon?

I think the # is the same, but the part #'s are different on the 2 rear most mounts.

yes. I'd skip the poly and go for rubber. You can buy them on ebay for 249$ listed for a chevelle.

Yeah, I'd like to stick with the rubber ones. Will look into the chevelle one?

So I called up energy suspension.
Some random info from them:
Durometer of the poly bushings for the Impala - 70
65 is the lowest durometer they go with for poly types
45-55 is typical for the rubber ones
The black and the red apparently have no difference in durometer acccording to the tech support guy.
He suggested calling suspension.com and based on the 3.4145 kit from Energy they would be able to match up a custom set based on the sizes available in the 4145 kit. However, he did say the impala kit is missing the two rear most bushings and would need to be sourced separately.
