Default Shock absorber bushings?

My old car has shock absorbers that pass the bounce test but must have been put on 20 years ago. The car just hasn't had that many miles put on it.
Unfortunately the bushings have dry rotted. I guess I could wait for the rubber to disintegrate completely or for the shocks to go, but I was wondering if these bushings can usually be replaced?
Or should I just kick down a few bucks and replace them?

I believe that Long Island Corvette Supply (LICS) now sells shock absorber rubber bushings. Check their website. I think they just started mfg/selling these, so they might be highlighted as a new product.

Local auto parts store should have them. It's basically a generic item, nothing special for a Corvette.
