Three bushings per side mine were cheaper at Eklers. Do both sides my left was working fine the right would only open half way. When I took them apart they were in the same shape so it wasn't long for the drivers side.

Use local 1/2 dia dowel x 7/16 length
Tom,
It probably is just the three 'spacers'. I just did mine and cut 1/2 inch dia. wooden dowel. It worked great. About 2 hours to do both. Removed only three motor mounting screws and roll pin. Set a piece of plywood at the wheel and used as work area...did not remove wiring.
There is a good thread about this repair. Some people found teflon and other plastic spacers in hardware stores that worked just fine.
it is only a few dollar from the suppliers, but faster to cut than make the order.
