Radius arm bushing spacers

[RnMEtt]

After a weekend of rock crawling my 94 STX extended cab with a 6" skyjacker class II installed, I noticed handling wasn't the same on the way home. I found the hard plastic spacer thats suppose to be between the radius arm frame mount and rear bushing on the right side was gone. This is the 3rd time these things broke. I Just had a machine shop make me some out of brass to see if they last any better. Anyone else having this issue?

My friend had that happen on his. We tightened a large hose clamp around it real good (both sides) and it's been fine for many years now. Having ones made from metal is certainly best though.
