Try

It's an industrial supply warehouse, that carries just about every
type of screw, nut, bolt, washer, bearing.....whatever, including
tube, rod, and sheet stock of just about every material imaginable.
It's highly likely though, that these are proprietary parts made for
trek, so you may be SOL. You _may_ be able to come up with emergency
alternatives at Mcmaster in that case, but it would never be an exact
fit.
Many years ago I had a Proflex 853 - elastomer rear suspension. A few
years later I tried to get a replacement bushing but they had gone a
couple of generations past that design, and I couldn't find the part.
I bought a Delryn rod of the right O.D. from Mcmaster, cut it, drilled
it, and used it. I also had enough of the rod to last a lifetime of
replacements. Too bad the swing arm cracked a couple of years later.
