I don't think anyone offers this service with a monoball bushing like OEM, but EPS/Vertex replaces the monoball with a poly bushing. In my opinion the poly bushing allows more movement than the monoball bushings which could allow the wheels to move in unintended directions under heavy load. I think the earliest arms on the first Boxsters used this style of arm which was then superceded by the monoball arm.

There are some pressable monoballs available to replace some of the other traditional bushings in the suspension but each one costs more than a whole new track arm maybe that why nobody makes them
