Rubber Chicken bushings

-just ordered...that's the good news. 2 years ago, as the 4th set of bearings went in I swore I'd never fork out (jest) for another set of inappropriate taper brgs.
Last week I found the dreaded play at rear wheel again - which explained why the rear end was hopping and snaking over white lines, banding and worn surfaces...and making low speed handling unnervingly twitchy.
Bought the < Laser Tools 4740 Swinging Arm Bearing Tool BMW > window socket (£12) from Premier factors http://ebay.eu/13cjHHI and adjusted the bearing, which I soon found was already badly brinelled (notched) so will soon expire.
Bushes $126 + Loctite + 50 USD postage (gulp)...my bill today is over £125 but at least these damn bearings will never need replacing again!
Anyone near me is welcome to borrow the window socket -just PM me.
