McKensie in California sells the yellow urethane bushings that don't sleek. Call them and tell them what you have and they will ship them. They also carry the Pinot bolt bushings in yellow for the rear. Guaranteed to be squeak free

Micarta is a fiber type bushing, for the lack of a better term. The way I read it is VW made two types of "bearings" for the link pin beam. One is the standard timken needle bearing they are calling bearing set and the other is the micarta they are calling bushing set. I have never seen a micarta bushing in a beam only bearings, which means nothing. I have no idea what the difference would be between the two beams other than Inside Diameter of the tubes.
