I assume you mean suspension bushings (like for shocks, sway bars, etc.)

I am in the process of replacing all of the bushings on my '89 100Q
(it goes in thursday!), and here's what I found:

There is not much available in the way of aftermarket bushings,
either in rubber, urethane, or nylon-lined. After a week or two
of searching, I ended up calling Carlsen Audi and ordering everything
OEM for about $450. Overall, I think this is your best bet. They'll
be guaranteed to fit, and they'll be in stock.
