Confirming correct bushing needed

Hey guys.

I need to replace the bushing on one of my rear suspension arms. After too many hours of research I think I have found the right one but I just want someone to let me know if I am correct or not.

I am replacing the bushing circled in red in the image attached, and the set I am planning to purchase is here: http://superpro.suspension.parts/spf2063k

Its the toe arm bushings. I'm not familiar with superpro but the WL piece is a bump-steer bushing with an offset sleeve.

Based upon your link its correct. Toe-arm bush. There is only 1, the other end is a ball-joint.

Thanks guys, have opted for the Superpro ones as I don't have a local Whiteline stockist (would have preferred WL but time is a factor).

A quick question about installation, is it as simple as;

1. Remove arm, remove old bushing.
2. Grease and install new bushing.
3. Reinstall arm to torque specs.
4. Alignment.

???

Only grease the "faces" of the bushing where they meet the sub-frame mount and the inside diameter of the bush where crush sleeve goes. Do not grease arm or bush where they meet each other.

Follow the instructions if provided with the kit.
