Idler Arm Bushings?

Hey guys I have a crisis, my baby is broken. I have a 79 RX-7 and I need some idler arm bushings. I believe that is what I need.

The bracket that mounts the steering to the passenger side of the car. The bushing are GONE.

Please advise on where, or part numbers might help me a ton.
