Cracked Bushing! which one is it??

So i had my car up on the lift the other day when i was informed of one of my whiteline bushings being cracked. Now, the only whiteline parts i have ordered were the steering rack, roll center adjustment, and rear bump stop. Im assuming these are the rear bump stop bushings but i just want to confirm that these were installed properly by my alignment shop. Here are 2 pics. The first is just showing the rear passenger side. The bushing is the one that is on the arm up near the top of the pic (upper control arm? i have no idea) And the second is the actual bushing itself cracked on the right side.





With that all being said i know it needs to be replaced and i want to make sure its the rear bump stop bushings that i need. Also, another problem im having is with my toe on my passenger side front wheel. It is in a lot farther than it should be and is causing me to drive with a crooked steering wheel. I have had it aligned and fixed, but it has gone out of alignment already within 3 months. Could this be from the bump stop bushing? (i don't think it is) Or is there another problem with maybe my roll center kit or something else thats loose causing it to go out of alignment so easily.

thanks for the help in advance.

Yes that is a rear bump steer bushing. No it doesn't affect the front end alignment.
