Is it a stock or SLR arm?
If so, it was my experience that the plastic OEM bushings worked well. They're cheap too. When I ran the SLR steering years ago before the SAS, I used up their brass ones quickly and went back to the stock ones. I'd get a year per set out of them under hard wheeling.
You wouldn't want polyurethane on the idler arm - you need something much harder than that.
