Hi Clare,
I may have some, but replacement is not easy as the outer bearings & spacers have to be removed (in tact) and that requires a special puller.
Its worth checking first the play cannot be adjusted out using the bolt on the RHS.

The procedure has been covered on here many times, this was just the first I found.

I found this Clare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd2MH2vVgxk (parts 2 & 3 as well)
It shows how to remove the lower bush using a home made tool - the upper should be the same in principle and require the same tool.
I don't have any inner bushes btw, only the spacers, outer bearings and seals.
