I am replacing the rear trailing arms on the car listed above and my local Toyota dealer does not stock the bushing which connects the trailing arm to the rear knuckle. They allow me to purchase the entire knuckle with bushings included OEM# 42304-33010. Where can I source the following bushing?

We are not a parts website, but I have had good luck with Rockauto.com. I can tell you that even though sometimes they offer bushings when nobody has them it means they want you to put the knuckle with the bushing in it already. This site I did check say the part is discontinued.

Local Auto Part stores does not stock it. RockAuto does not stock it. Toyota Dealerships near me do not stock it unless I buy the knuckle. Not good.

Yep, that is what I was afraid of. Sorry about that. Maybe you can find a good used part from a dismantler?
