Sorry, I'm talking about the basic internal parts that come in a rebuild kit. Maybe the Australian connection is a better way to go, btw.
When I say bushings, I'm talking about the little parts that look like "SORRY" game pieces that are spring-loaded and hold the inner tie rod ball in place, AND the bushing that goes between the rack (the part that slides side to side) and the outer tube casing. it has a round center hole, is about and inch or so long, is somewhat triangular when viewed from the end with grooves set in lenth-wise on each rounded "peak" of the triangle. This last piece is the one that tends to go south, I think, and allows for the clankity-clank of the rack as you travel over bumps and such. If the boots are still good, the inner tie rod bits should still be fine, but this other piece just gets worked and wears out over time. It is the easiest of the pieces to make.
