Default Rear Knuckle Bushings??

I have taken my car to the mechanic a few days ago for sounds I hear while driving with the window up its not THAT severe but its pretty annoying when I have people in the car and I'm driving with the radio low.

I hear it when going over bumps, potholes slowly, and speed bumps at low speeds. It makes a sound as something rusty would make.

Sounds like its from the rear right side mostly.

My mechanic said its the Rear Knuckle bushings. and they are about $225 (off the top of his head) each... and said I should try to find it from one of my online "hookups" for cheaper
I went on Sewell parts and pembroke pines and only found the knuckle itself and no illustration of a bushing that goes into it.

the price of the knuckle seems to be close to what my mechanic said it would be.
So now im wondering if there is ANY bushings to be bought separately or the only solution is to buy the entire knuckle.

There was another GS400 in his shop a few weeks ago with a HORRENDOUS squeak coming from the rear end, and it sounded like an old mattress everytime the rear end went up and down.

He said it was the same exact issue, but mine hasn't gotten to that point yet.

so does anyone have any experience with this at all?
