Do you mean bushings to go on either side of the bolt that goes through the rod end? If so, you could just stack washers up. Make sure that at normal rest position the rod end jam nut locks it in the middle of it's rotational range and you will have plenty of room so it doesn't bind up when the car rolls. Or you can look at these.

Scroll until you find the hole ID and thickness that you want.

You can get Machine Bearings from Lowes. They are a washer with narrower OD, flat, and controlled thickness. Shim as required. (The folks at VPM put me onto these when I had issues with their sway bar).

PG that is a good reminder. I have also seen them at True Value.

Rod ends don't have bushings.
