Default Can someone help me with rear trailing arm bushings

'06 ES330

Went to shop to get an alignment, and they told me my rear trailing arm bushings are worn and need to be replaced. I do have clunking coming from the back, so this may be the culprit. Any idea which part no. this is? I went on rock auto just now and there are several trailing arm and control arm parts on the REAR. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Apply the filter REAR then you'll see just the trailing arm. Is that what you need? Usually the trailing arm does not wear out clunking comes from sway bar bushings or sway bar links. The bushing in the knuckle sometimes goes bad if so you need this

here's a diagram of the rear suspension

Thanks LeX2K, i'll take a look. I guess to add, i got t-boned a few years ago at the rear end and ever since then the rear passenger tire leans inwards at the top. I believe this is connected to the clunking.

48780-48020 (bottom left in the diagram) tends to bend easily but other pieces are also probably bent.
