Replacement bushing availability?
It all depends on which rr control arm you're referring to. There are 3 per side on our cars - 1 longitudinal and 2 lateral. I know that you can buy replacement bushings for the longitudinal arms (I've done this job) and IIRC they're the same bushings used for the toe control arms. If it's the main lateral arms, which are the forward ones formed of a stamped, open at the bottom, "C" section they must be purchased as an assembly.
Don't worry about the bushings on the toe control arms as the metal bends way before the bushings go!
If it's the longitudinal ones, you'll need a hydraulic press to replace the bushings. Or you can go with the ES poly kit, but I found the bushings too harsh and removing the old rubber ones is real smelly/messy.
