Delrin bushing? Ouch! Might as well use stainless inserts and skip the plastic entirely.
Reminds me of a highly rated performance shop that I literally stumbled across (there's a WHAT? WHERE? on a local back street) and took the last car into some years ago. Two owners, one says to the other "See, I TOLD you I saw one around here!" and while I was asking questions about an exhaust, he's literally asking me if he can put the car on the rack to prove to his partner that the performance model really did ship with urethane bushings instead of the plain rubber ones. Go figure.
Maybe the word we're all missing is "checked" or "checkered" not really "cracked. Checkering is still mainly surface cracks, but when I think of cracks it is more like something that is working its way straight through to a split and failure. First cousin to "crazed" as in, what our headlight covers sometimes do.

MP4.2+6.0 that's disappointing news about Meyle.One less quality choice.Another trick, Napa own a company called Altrom, in Canada at least.When you order an Audi part,other than filters etc.you often get an actual repackaged Audi/VW part .I bought lots of suspension components in my former life and they were always an Audi part with the part no. and 4 rings ground off.Good stuff !
