Ford used nylon, delrin, teflon, some kind of plastic as king pin bushings from the early 70s-the early 80's on their pick ups. I used to grab the torch to free up stiff spindles untill I melted the bushings in one!
I can't say if the plastic bushings held up any better than the bronze, but for the use that most rods see I would think that either style would last a long time.
