Default Help, What is this?

Ok, so I am doing the rear brakes and I notice a huge chunk of rubber missing from what I think to be called a control arm bushing. So I go around to the local auto shops (not many in my town) and the two guys I spoke with had no clue what it was called but are positive it not a control arm bushing. So can someone please tell me what its called. here is a pic.



and if you know where to get a good deal on a set that would be great too. Thanks -Kane

I find it humorous how we can come on here and get answers to stuff that people who are paid to know cant answer

You're wellcome. It's the right time to do all of the busgings in the rear suspension...

Yeah might as well replace all the bushings, it'll tighten up your suspension some giving a nicer feel to turns etc.
