Need Help With Bushing on bottom of rear shock!!! Knuckle Bushing?

Hey, this is my first post on here because I'm in a little bit of a jam. I was replacing my rear shocks this weekend and when i got to my drivers side rear, the bushings where the shock bolts to on the bottom were given me trouble. I took it to my local shop and he said that the bushing is jacked inside the knuckle, and that if i get luck i may be able to find one. Does any one know where to order one? I've looked through posts before and followed all the links, but it seems that every bushing is for the other part of the knuckle. Im not even sure if the knuckle is the correct part, but any help would be appriciated. I don't want to replace the entire knuckle since that is a lot of money, and would love if i could get away with just replacing the bushing. thanks in advance

Since you going to replace it anyways and having it pressed out you could always go with poly bushings from energy. I am in the same spot as you and thats the route I am going.

I'm going to bump this up rather than create another thread for it. Was installing my coilovers today when I came across somewhat of the same problem but my bolt was seized to the bushing. The only way for me to get the rear shock off was to cut it with a reciprocating saw.

Can anyone tell me what this bushing is called.so I can get another one and press it in?

Thanks.
