I don't think there are replacements available, but you may find some
other vehicle that you could use replacement urethane bushings and
replace them with, you may have to modify them, or see if someone
here works with urethane and can make some.

I found them listed at Auto Zone, not cheap though a set of 2, front and rear almost $100 ! Yikes! I bet if you did an ebay serch or a web serch you'd be able to find them. Also, the guy that does my alignments can get them from his suspension supplier.

Low Range off road was able to order me some- I think they were 60, but don't quote me on that.
