Default Lateral link bushings needed?? Help

I am the proud owner of a 1994 ES300 with a clunking noise coming from the rear. I jacked it up today and discovered a worn bushing in the lower right rear lateral link.
The obvious question is Who sells just the bushings that I could easily replace without spending big bucks for a complete lateral link.
It would be nice to find a complete set of bushings so I could replace them all.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... Dave

From this diagram, which bushing on your car is bad?

It would be the outside of the 48730F link. Thanks for the diagram, Dave

I believe the only way you can get new bushings is by replacing the entire arm, the bushings in those have a sort of ball-joint type action, it's not just a simple rubber bushing you can press in.

The arms themselves are relatively inexpensive, around $40 a piece (check Ebay). You'll also have to get an alignment done after replacing it.
