Here's a bronze replacement for the plastic insert. So far it has four years of serious abuse and shows zero signs of wear. When the time comes for the idler arm I'll go either the Proforged route or make something similar.

Who makes the bronze replacement bushing? Are the Proforged idler arms currently made with the bronze bushing?
