Over the Counter Tie Rod Bushings

So when I first got my W123 I had a loud clack that sounded off whenever I turned my steering wheel in turns. I promptly replaced all the tie rods and track rods and arms and whatever related to the steering assembly and that killed the noise real well. Unfortunately, being new to my 300D and for that matter buying parts, I was very naive and I bought URO Parts rods and arms with bushings. Its been about two years now and there's no clack, but two of my tie rod bushings are cracked and collapsed. I was at a local autowerk store and I found over the counter polyurethene bushings that I could just slap on in between, or so I think.

Has anyone tried these before on a W123? Are they worth my time and money or should I just replace the tie rod ends with new ones and go get alignment after? Also is UROPARTS as bad as some claim?
