Rear end feels loose

Well this doesn't look right

Excuse the poor photo but looks like it's biased to one side at the bad bushing too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but looks like I've got the "captured" style of control arm bushing. Are those interchangeable with the newer style bushing or will I have to get new arms?

Did it work? was it a bushing problem or was more than that? Thanks

All the bushings for the rear can be replaced. Regard Timmy the Toolman's video on how to do rear trailing arms. The uppers are a piece of cake, the lowers can be a pain as they are captured and the sleeve needs to come out somehow. Timmy used/advises a press sleeve, but mine didn't fit and I personally just looped a hacksaw through, made a couple cut through the sleeve (you'll cut into the control arm's bore slightly but it won't hurt anything) and pounded it out with a punch
After doing all the bushings in the rear I can attest the difference is night and day, and I wasn't even expecting much beyond a squeak to go away
