I had the same problem with Sonja (TR-4, but same parts, I
think). I just calipered the ones that were there, checked
for basic roundness and parallelism and had the bushes bored
out (which you have to do anyway) to match them. The new ones
are in the box still. No problems yet (3 years, 15Kmiles
later). There was plently of meat left on what was there and
they weren't pitted or (very) OOR, so it worked for me. YMMV.
