Lateral link bushings?

Anyone know if the bushings for the rear lateral link (rear control arm where the end links bolt to) are available separately? I've searched online and can't seem to find a part number for the bushings beside the Energy suspension set. Which I don't need an entire set of bushings for all the arms.

I replaced the right lateral link which came including a new bushing already, because I had to torch the old bushing and cut out and replace the camber adjustment bolt/cam washer. Now the left side bolt is also frozen inside the metal sleeve in the bushing so I'm gonna have to torch it and cut that bolt out too. So I'll need to replace the bushing along with the bolt but I can't find the singe bushing alone anywhere. Any one find the single bushing alone? Or would I have to replace the arm again once the bushing is destroyed?

Just looked in the parts catalog and bushings aren't available separately, you have to buy the entire arm. Or get aftermarket ones like Energy Suspension.

That sucks. The energy suspension bushings are listed as a set for all the rear control arms it looks like. Anyone happen to know if they sell the pair for the rear lateral arms alone or have a part number for that pair.

I'm searching and not finding anything. It shows bushing pairs for rear "toe control arms". Not too sure if those are the same ones and maybe they're just calling it that as an alternative name?

EDIT: It was Whiteline that calls them the "toe arms" still wondering if these are the same bushings for the lateral link. They look pretty similiar.

Whiteline Suspension Parts - Part Number W63392 - Rear Toe Arm Bushings - Inner Position

Anyone have any details on them?

I bought a set of whiteline toe arm bushings and I wasn't very happy with the quality.
The were one piece which made them impossible to get in. The quality of the casting was bad enough that I thought the set I got may have been a counterfeit. I sent them back instead of using them. Powerflex and Super Pro both sell the individual bushing pairs.
