You can get those in urethane or rubber. Same as sway bar links in many cases; just match up the size. IMO it is ok to use urethane in this location but usually I hate it.
Even the cheap ones hold up fine in my experience. Doorman and monroe, ect, ok brands.
I don't know where to buy low quality ones. You tell me. |

I'd say you are squishing them way too much.

X2 far too much, the rubbers should just start to bulge when you tighten the nut down. Stop there
