If MK1's control arm bushings are obsolete, how can you still get DEFCON MK1 bushings?

or are these just non-Audi replacement bushings that retro-fit other mfg./cars, or does Audi still make the MK1 bushing? Surely there probably pretty easy to come by since poly MK1 busings are now being made.

It is an OEM part found on VW's & Audi's, and not just for front control arms.

Plus, the recall was voluntary. So even if it were a MK1-only part, there would still be spare part replacements.

My DEFCON kits use parts from OEM suppliers, and as stated, the bushes are used in many other VAG applications.
