Using WJ bushings in Rustys control arms?

I've got some bad bushings in some Rusty's short arms, it seemed like all the bolts were the wrong size until I realized that the XJ bushings have "nodules" in them that wear down effectively expanding the ID of the metal sleeve.

I saw mention of using WJ bushings instead, because they apparently don't use the "nodules" and have a tube sleeve rather than rolled flat stock. It was mainly another thread were this was being discussed but I saw it in here too: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=978010&highlight=control+arm+bushing&page=6

Can anyone confirm this for me, that I can use wj bushings in Rusty's short arms to prevent this problem? I mean yea fabbing up a long arm set up would take care of it.....but that's for another day.

Thanks
