Never seen a new one for sale! Are yours dead or are you just looking to replace them with new ones for the sake of it? Second hand might be your only option unless they're available in Germany or something.

That won't affect camber at all, I'd be looking at upper wishbone bushes or the ball joint.

Best stuff to get them made from is nylon 66, it's a bearing material. Rally lads used to get bushes for leaf springs made up out of it.
