As for longevity, I got a regular idler arm bushing from some import car parts store for $6 in 1983 (they had it in stock, no less), it's still in our Amazon some 300,000 miles later, and it still has no slop at all.

AFAIK, the one in our 1800S is original, now 38 years old, and has no slop (but that's only ~170,000 miles).

If quality replacement are NLA, I can certainly see Delrin as a good substitute. I'm curious about John's comment that it wears faster than urethane, though -- I thought the stuff was supposed to last just about forever. ???
