A bushing liner for use in elastomeric bushings in the form of a rigid tube made from low friction polymeric material, such as expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene. The bushing liner has a smooth inner surface and a density of 0.9 g/cc or greater. The bushing liner may have a cracked outer surface to improve bonding between the bushing liner and the elastomeric bushing. The inside and outside profiles of the bushing liner may be either straight or contain projections depending on the design of the bushing liner. The bushing liner may be securely bonded within an elastomeric bushing providing the elastomeric bushing with a bore having a smooth low friction polymeric inner surface.
