Does anybody know what size the bushings are that keep giving way?

The stock rear bushings on an MP3 have an ID (Inner Diameter) of 20mm. The outer diameter of the bushings are not really too important, because most aftermarket bushings come with special brackets. That is of course if you get the Energy Suspension bushings with the grease fittings.

im a clunk/bushing newbie so please dont get mad.

is this all you need to solve the problem? just new bushings? are they compatible with the rear swaybar and such?

New OEM bushing will solve the problem, but not for very long (especially in cold weather it seems). The clunk will come back.
Aftermarket Urethane bushings with grease fittings would pretty much take care of the problem. I *think* the problem is finding a manufacturer that makes them to fit the MP3/MSP (?)
Correct me if I'm wrong.
