  ETKA has a good pic of that area.  I don't think there are 
any bushings there.  Just a ball and socket with a couple 
stubs out the side of the ball.  I did a little JB buildup on a 
couple spots on mine to get most of the slop out of it, what 
with  no dealer around.  Had to get it back together over a 
weekend so no time to try and order or run to a dealer even 
if parts were reasonable.
