Default Centre prop mount bush, options?

Hey all!
My saff has destroyed the bush in the centre prop bearing, the big rubber one, can you get uprated ones, or is there another option?
It's about 1000 miles old and was a ggr one, what are my options, same again, or does someone do a poly version?!

That sounds odd.... maybe you should get your prop balanced and check everything else is in good shape?

It was a knocking while taking off, very violent!
The prop never shakes so don't think it's the balance.
It went while smoking the back tyres in second, it hit a compression in the road and gripped, maybe the sudden grip and 480ft ib just caused it to give up?
New one orders so will see how it lasts.
