Steering Rack Mounting Bushes

I have a 2009 hilux 3.0 D4D. 4x4 DC. It seems that the mounting bushes for the steering rack have excessive play. Toyota and pirate do not supply. The best Ive got is to take them to a guy who will make teflon or rubber ones. I live in Springs ( east rand ) Any advice ? Mike 0832669240
