Has anyone found a source of these instead of the standard sintered bush? Size on my 97/400/T5 is 15 ID, 23.8 OD, 18mm long. The nearest I can find is 15x21x18 which would need a sleeve.

The reason is that I'm not sure that that the bushes being currently supplied are either sintered or oil impregnated, just plain bronze alloy, which has created a problem for me which I don't want to repeat. e.g., squealing after just 2 years & 6k miles.
