Spacers should be ok as long as the INNER sleeve of the busking is pinched tite enuf so that it does not rotate on the shaft. My only concern, without visual inspection, is whether or not the OUTER steel shell of the bushing contacts the full length of the control arm hole that it presses into.

As for needle bearings;
Probably ok IF the needle bearing has an INNER race. Which means that the needles do NOT contact the cross shaft. Cross shaft is probably not hardened enuf to accomodate needle bearings rolling directly against it.
