What would you call this bushing?

'89 Toyota Cressida - at the outer end of the rear lower control arms, the shop says this bushing is too worn to do an alignment. It's not part of the control arm but pressed into a protrusion of the wheel assembly casting - the round area visible in the highlighted area. Trying to find out what that particular bushing is called so I can look for them online. As far as I can see the Toyota shop manual doesn't address it.

What would you call it?

Thanks

Do you see it in this diagram? I see the control arm but unless I'm missing it I don't see the bushing.
edit - seems like the bushing comes as part of the knuckle, but maybe this is it? Hard part to find for some reason.
edit2 - think I found it HERE but the price is ridiculous for $100 you can buy the entire knuckle from Toyota which may or may not come with the bushing. I see on Rockauto.com a TRW 12493 that might be it.

The bolt at the outer end of the lower control arm 48730A goes through the bushing, but no it's not shown in the diagram. The bushing isn't pressed into the control arm like the one on the inner end, it's pressed into the casting for the wheel assembly.
