BAD IDEA this one. The rubber bush in the idler arm helps to cushion the blow to the steering box from the gutter side tyre hitting potholes, etc. Going BACKWARDS to ancient bronze bush + grease arangement will increase the chance of hammering a flat spot on the worm & roller in the steering box AND you actually have to grease it all the time. I't's actually easier to just stick a new rubber bush in every 100,000 miles than grease the old fashioned version every few thousand miles.

These have been around for a few years. Comments say that they work fine. That link didn't work for me but this UK eBay one did.
