What exactly is this bushing called and where can I get one?????

[73MACH]

SN95 8.8 rearend, I'm replacing the upper and lower control arms. When I pulled off the uppers, this is what the bushing looked like.(center of the pic) YUK! When I look for rear upper control arm bushings, all I get are the bushings that are pressed into the arm itself, this is on the rearend. Any help would be great! I'd like to get the polyurethane bushings since that is what will eventually be going throughout the entire car.

That is a upper axle bushing.

Don't remove the bushing shell if you can avoid it.

These are the good ones. Not sure how much you are looking to spend.

Why?

On rusty rear ends especially, it can be a real pain pressing them back in... you can weld them back in if you have to. But that can be a problem if you buy the bushings with the shells already on them. Just saying life will be easier if you can cut the bushing out without taking the shell out.
