Thanks Chris, but unfortunately no. I need the bushings that are actually pressed into the rack. I have access to a press. In fact I have access to a machine shop. If the bushings were round, I could have them made. Unfortunately, the picture in my Bently indicates that they have a flat side. I don't think my shop could make them, at least not without an engineering drawing.
