California Rear Suspension Bush - Help Needed Please

Could the forum help me to identify the bush in the attached video - at around 2 minutes 43 seconds. It's a rear suspension arm and looks like the one that the main wheel hub connects with. I can't see th bush listed on any parts diagrams - the other one on the wishbone seems to be the lower shock absorber. Any help with a part number or advice as to whether this bush can be independently replaced without buying the whole unit would be very gratefully received. Thanks.

You need new hubs as some of the aluminium casting has gone so the circlips will never hold the bearing in place. I am also surprised that all the steel parts are so rusty, and if that car is a keeper a lot of de rusting and treatment is required.
 
Thanks - it belongs to a friend in the village and he has been quoted £5k by the main dealer. Seems about right as the hubs are around 1200-1300 plus Vat and then labour. Not sure why it has got so rusty. I'll break th ebad news to him. Thanks again.
