97 Legacy Outback control arm bushings...common problem?

Took the Legowag'n in for inspection last week and found out the front control arm bushings on the rearward side are bad (almost nonexistent, which explains why the car dips hard into right hand turns). Is this a common issue for the OBX? Where can I find new ones (polyurethane preferred)? Does anyone have any technical specs on these bushings? I'm thinking if I can't find anything for them except rubber ones from the dealer (which seems to be my only option at $125 a piece), I may have solid bushings cut from the machine shop or I may try and find something universal (poly) that will fit (I'm a cheap ass these days )

Next question is, how hard are they to replace? I've never had to do control arm bushings on any vehicle I've owned (however I have burnt the old bushings out of a set of Fiero control arms with plans to replace with poly, which never happened).
