On my SEL when I did the intake seals and such, I had to disconnect the throttle linkage, and the nylon bushing ball that the rear end of the longitudinal shaft sat in totally crumbled in my hand when I removed it, so I went on with my repair, and in the mean time, I came across a set of polyurethane sway bar bushings, I guess from a small chevy truck of some sort, and it fit in the socket and the shaft nestled nicely in the hole and worked AWESOME. I'd recomment this repair as a cheap alternative to hunting down that part new or even used.
Poly and Skateboard wheels can be machined to make anything
I'm thinking of having some sway bar (front) bushings produced from skateboard wheels.
