Are these bushings the little rubber discs that are between the leaves at
either end of the spring?
Yes
Are they actually available?
Found them on E-Bay.
How long could a piece of rubber or plastic last, being rubbed between two
spring leaves like that?
Probably not that long, but I'm going to find out.
