Check out these bushing bearings (2nd pic is stock vs Global West Del-A-Lum):

"The Global West Del-A-Lum is really a bearing not a bushing. The blue aluminum shell is pressed into the control arm. The gold steel sleeve rides on the control arm shaft or bolt and is locked in place. The Delrin sleeve "floats" between the two. Layers of grease are between all the parts. Del-A-Lums are a better choice than polyurethane bushings because they never squeak, do not bind the suspension and have better durability. Image: Global West Suspension."

the bearings are more sensitive to vibration transfer etc so ride comfort will suffer if u use a control arm with bearings on both ends. it is effective to use a bearing on the end furtherest from the rearend and a rubber bushing on the other.
