For the support arm the steel Abbott bearing is really the best answer. That joint has too much motion for a poly bushing. The OE rubber bushing it replaces is very soft. As far as the front of the support arm (where it connects to the control arm) the poly will have some deflection, you have to have some compliance somewhere. It would be easy to do a metal bushing for that connection but I doubt if you'd want to drive the car, and without some compliance in the support arm it would really load up the control arm.
I question a lot of Abbott stuff, and really question their prices but they do seem to know suspension.
