:? you mentioned that yours were trashed. ive used bearing supply houses in the past, if you can bring them the bad ones, they usually can match them up :cheers:

Try measuring the inside diameter of the bushing, the width of the housing, and the outside diameter of the retaining bolt/shaft (in mm). Quote these to a bearings supplier and see what he's got in stock.

Or take the whole assembly to an auto specialists or machine shop and ask if they can replace the bearings as a small job. Even with labour, might be cheaper than Suzuki parts.
