suspension bushings

[TMSengineer]

I am working on a street/performance shock mount for a sports car. The original problem that needs redesign is that the rubber bushing wears out very quickly. I do not have much experience with flexible materials ie plastic/rubber. So, how do I go about figuring out what material I need to make the bushing out of? Fatique is my biggest concern.

Thanks

Oh, it is chewing out. Can you post a cross section, rather than your fancy 3d renderings?
