Rear Suspension Bushings

Can't find any info in the How-To's, so here's the question: Are the rear suspension bushings replacable, and if so, where are they available? They're not a dealer item.

There are also bushings in the lateral link pieces, but don't know how much wear and tear they suffer. Would hate to have to buy the whole piece in order to get new bushings.

The ones in the middle actually need to be soft for this type of suspension to work correctly. Other wise the beam would move left or right as it moves up or down.

You can have the beam bent, but there are only 2 people in the states that do it.
