Default DIY Plain/Spherical Bearings for Suspension?

Has anyone done their own plain/spherical bearings for front LCAs, front UCAs, rear LCAs, ITR shock eyelets, rear camber arms, rear toe arms, or even rear trailing arm, or front compliance bushings?

I know of Kingpin, PCI, ESM, and the cheap-o stuff.

I'm a big fan of Kingpin myself, but I'm low buck as well

Thanks..

You have access to some calipers and some bushings?

Do you know how to run a lathe?

If yes, then you could probably whip up some nice bushings!

I do not have a lathe, but I have a press, a caliper, and some common sense. I'm hoping I can do this as an off-season project but i need to find someone who can machine the sleeves.
