Standard, they are not bushes, they are spherical bearings, so by replacing with bushes will make it worse.

Ive spoke to a few people over the years with poly bushed rear arms and they reckon they cant tell the difference.

Probably best taking them to a local fixings supplier and getting them to supply you with the correctly rated replacements.
