This is off a Sprint. It attaches to the Load Sensing Valve and the rear axle. Sorry, I don't know where you would get the bushes but would have thought there might be something after market you can use?

Measure the hole and get hold of a Rally Design catalogue and find a suitable poly bush and chuck a bolt through it.

It does appear from the parts list that the bushes were not sold separately. And I very much doubt the availability of a new link - unless the one that goes with the Hyundai copy of the LSV is the same. I probably have a used link rod here but I haven't inspected it to determine the re-useability of it's bushes.
