But I think I will have to now because those plastic bearings are useless... when I turn then, I can hear the the grinding sound...they are not smooth at all...

Just buy the bloody bearings!!! It makes a bigger difference than you might imagine!

In the mean time pull out the bushes and clean them up

they are only $15 shipped on ebay... not the best bearings but any bearings are better than bushings.

just remember to keep the car clean. you should be cleaning the car with a brush, compressed air... etc. after every run.
