I don't use urethane but I do use moly filled Delrin bushings. I make them from bar stock. Thumb push fit in the spring and same for the pin.
They last for years.

I used them on a car about 15 years ago (40 Ford) and they seemed fine. The front end seemed to move smoother, and no complaints. C.E. split wishbone, Mordrop axle, reversed eye mainleaf with plastic between leaves and about 9 leaves total if I remember correctly. I drove it maybe 20 thou in 10 years around the midwest.
