My understanding is that the early 850's you could change the bushings but later models the bushing is vulcanised to the bar so any wear is likely to be on the outer perimeter of the bushing around the clamp.
If that is the case then it may be easier to fabricate and fit shims around the bush to make everything tight again.
I reckon the bush is vulcanised to the bar to stop any sideways movement, something to consider if replacing with slide on poly bushes.
