Can anyone help?

I'm looking for a cheaper alternative than to source a Giant NRS bearings and bushing kit which is expensive.

All I need is to replace the nylon flange&bush arrangement in the seatstay/chainstay joint.

Do you think it could be replaced by a bearing?

Anyone tried anything different?

What year is it? if 2004 or later then they are cheaper from here
http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id239.html, if older I think you are stuck with Giant or Betd, on the upside the Betd kit changes the seatstay/chainstay flange/bush arrangement for bearings, which when I had to change them were a couple of £ each for SKF bearings from local bearing suppliers
