Camry 1992 need help on bushings

Hi, I have a 1992 Toyota camry and I am experiencing a noise problem from the rear left wheel. I know I have a bad bushing but I am not sure how parts are actually called ??? I have taken a picture and I am requesting your help to make sure I will order the right bushings from the net since toyota wants to replace all the parts instead of simply the bushings. I went to a local garage in Quebec, Canada and he also told me that he is not able to get only the bushings. I have found a couple of sites on the net to order only the bushings but I want to be sure of the names.
The bushing that I have singled out on the picture, can be forced at least 1/8" from side to side and I am positive the noise is coming from this bar.
Also can you confim if I have the right terminology for naming the parts ?
Your help would be appreciated.
My intention so far would be to replace only the trailing arms bushings, (would need 4 total I guess, since there is 2 bars & 1 in each end). But I am not sure if those 2 bars are called the trailing arms. So I need your help.
Thanks once again

That bar and mount at the lower bracket of the rear suspension is for adjusting the tow of the alignment and I could be wrong but I would call it a tie-rod-end and on a popular car like this should be available aftermarket but it may only come as the whole bar end with the threads that are locked by that locking nut in the picture. Nice pic.
I don't know why you can't get just that part easily and when you do make sure to count how many turns it takes to remove it and reinstall the same # of turns. Alignment would be recommended but you can get it real close to where it was when last adjusted if it ever needed to be adjusted. That part will almost certainly be left or right and threads will be left or right hand and not interchangeable with the other side.
Hope that helps. Take a copy of your pic to a parts store to avoid confusion. Many parts counters will have a diagram naming it and have a part #,
