It seems that some dust made its way into that area of the rack, and contributed to accelerated wear of the puck and the bottom of the rack.

In addition to ZF, 914rubber.com overhauls these racks, and they apparently replace the end bushings during the process, as well. They don't list the bushings on their site, however, I am going to ask them if they are manufacturing replacements.

Dave i believe you with your mileage but you most likely overlooked miles on mine;-)
here is when i turned 500K
