Do they make any aftermarket bushings for it?

Nope, prothane did at one time but discontinued them years ago.

Have you tried rockauto.com? Not many options but they do have some aftermarket ones available. At one point, both prothane and T3 made PS rack bushings. Now, it's like everyone thinks we're all running manual racks.

Couldn't hurt to check the dealership especially since the OEM bushings hold up pretty well too. FWIW, steering is still solid without any slop or wobble on my original bushings.
