Supplier for Suspension Rocker Arm Bushings/Sleeves?

Is OEM the only option for uni track bushings and sleeves?

I just serviced the rear suspension and linkage, and took a look at the unitrak. The sleeves and bushings all had rust on em. I need the bike up and running so I cleaned em up as best as I could and put waterproof grease for the short term.

How bad is it to run the bike with these rusted parts in the short and long term? On a scale of "you can get away with not replacing them" to "don't use your bike, the bike is gonna blow up," where do rusted sleeves and bushings fall?

If you don't get any significant play, I'd say it's fine to use as-is.
