Default Ls400 eBay strut rod bushings

Anyone have any thoughts on these strut rod bushings? Obviously OEM would be the best but I don't have money like that, however, I also don't want something that'll break in a year. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Always OEM for this type of thing.

I mean I'd love to just get the OEM bushings, but the only thing I can find is the entire strut rod assembly. I have access to a press and the current strut rods are undamaged, is there somewhere that sells just the bushings?

Thanks, I feel dumb haha. Searched that site for a good hour and couldn't find those. Never would have thought they were called "cushions"
