Polyurethane can be machined but you need to know how to shape the tool to cut it but then it's not a great finish,propbably easier in the long run just to buy the poly bushes.

It seems that not all drag links have the same length of thread, some not allowing enough thread inside the top arm when fitted with a lock nut ( there have been comments of approx 20mm inside the arm).
