I believe Gilbos is still making these bushings. Not sure if the contact info is still accurate though. You can google his stuff though.

Try slipping an o-ring on your existing bushing...

This company has the metal ones too:

Scroll about halfway down the page.  Probably worth the $$ cause the stock ones (and the drag ones) wear out pretty quickly.
