Have you looked at Figs? They may be able to provide you the exact part you need.

The seller emailed say it fit or return. I did look at Figs but this my wife car not a track car. So to spend $175 to get beat by the northeast salt in the winter isn't worth it. Since I'm already changing out the rear shock might as well get this done at the same time. Since the car had 171k of Northeast weather.

What about getting a new/slightly used rear knuckle? Should have all the bushings already in it and installed I think..... the rear carrier bushing usually goes bad for our cars too, light bed squeaking with small bumps

Only thing with buy a whole knuckle a lot more work with all the linkage and axle. As of know I had to replace a the rear strut so it pretty much there to replace and go. I could as the seller on eBay to press me out one from the knuckle.

I dont think thats the right bushing. The correct bushing is spherical. Meaning it turns 360 degrees

Yeah after talking to FIGS eng. it not. So i end up buy a used Knuckle with the spherical bushing in great condition. I would of bought one from FIGS but they say it wouldn't last 40k in the Northeast weather. So i would keep having to replace the bearing which wasn't worth the price at that point.

Yea the factory bearing has rubber boots over the ends. Figs is just exposed which makes it easy to lubricate. But also allows salt and grime in I would imagine.
Guess you cant beat OEM for the street!
