The bushing comes with the arm, I've never seen a bushing available any other way.

But, that picture shows what looks like a johnny joint or spherical joint, not the remains of a bushing. If they are loose, check with aFe (formerly Pfadt) because I'm pretty sure they sell a kit like that and likely also sell rebuild parts.

I agree, that almost appears to be a spherical setup.
