I thought my linkage + swing arm bearings were on their way out but it looks like it's the shock bush that's worn. Are new ones available, because looking at the service manual, it looks like there's no parts to replace, that a long bolt/machine screw + nut fasten the shock directly to the 'relay arm' as they describe it on page 4-60 of yamaha-wr125-service-manual.pdf 

I'm reluctant to buy a new shock when it's just the bush that's worn - any suggestions for a UK based supplier please?

Or alternatively, can anyone supply the dimensions of the bush, like OD + ID of the rubber, OD + ID of the tube/sleeve? The overall width is 44mm, that's the only measurement I took before I put it back together when I realised the linkage/swingarm bearings were fine.
