Angry Loud SQUEEK! @ rear lower control arm/spindle

Hello all, I have a very loud and annoying squeek coming from the bushing @ the spindle. Does anyone know if this bushing is replaceable w/o changing the whole spindle ( about a $500 repair in parts alone! ) ANNNNNY help will be appreciated!

Look into the Daizen control arms bushings. This will take care of the squeek.

Ive been searching most aftermarket places with no luck. Since this bushing is machine pressed the dealer only sells it with the spindle. They say it might be available aftermarket. Will look for Daizen again, Thanks for the insight

Rear lower control arm? As far as I know, Daizen doesn't make any bushings for the rear which is a shame because they do make it for the SC guys.
