• Anyone know an online source for IP throttle shaft bushings aside from Prothe and my local Bosch dealer. I've got a couple really bad bushings that I need to swap out.
  
  Thanx.

• I don't know of any others, but why don't you think the Prothe ones are "good enough" for this application?

  They don't look like the originals, and I'm afraid they might leak.

  A lot of Prothe's parts either aren't to spec, or they're dissimilar to the OEM, or they're just horrible knockoffs. Now with all things, I'm sure there are *some* parts he sells that are reliable....but with him, I hear you have to take your chances and it's hit or miss.

• Just rotate them 180 degrees. If they still leak it's not like they are hard to change.
