Has anyone atempted to use the AFCO / stock car racing products or similar LCA bushings on a stock Rear LCA?

Based on my measurements on my stock Rear LCA this would fit.
1.90 OD 2.375 Length 1/2 inner diamiter

At $14.00 a pop this would be a hell of lot cheaper that Global west bearings or similar setups plus the stock RLCA has no welds to break.

Thoughts?

Those pieces are for the front suspension only, where the suspension arm motions can be accommodated by a cylindrical sleeve (IOW, the only rotation is about a single axis).

Rear LCA's need freedom of rotation about all three axes, not just one, so you need some sort of ball boint (read: rod ends).
