The trailing arms are what holds the rear end/axel on. The bushings are what allow movement of the arms.

Why does your 2002 Nissan Pathfiner wobble when you try to accelerate after releasing the gas pedal?

The rear suspension Trailing Arm bushings are likely worn out and/or the rear shocks are in need of replacement. There is an upper and a lower trailing arm on both sides of the vehicle in the rear suspension. As a test, grab a firm hold on the lower trailing arm and try to twist it. If your able to move it even a little, the bushings are shot.

Can you purchase bushings for 1990 Toyota Celica rear control arm or will you have to replace the entire control arm?

Though the original rear control arm bushings are designed to NOT be replaced, yes, you can purchase bushings for 1990 Toyota Celica rear control arm. To my knowledge, there is currently only one place in the world that manufactures all of the ones you could need and that is SuperPro Suspension in Australia. They are currently sold on eBay from the UK (GBP). Following are the appropriate and some associated suspension/performance part numbers: SuperPro SPF2730K Rear Control Arm Inner Front Bushing: 2 bush/2 tubes This part does 2 inner ends of the 2 forward arms SuperPro SPF1221K Rear Control Arm Inner Rear Bushings: 2 bush/2 tubes This part does 2 inner ends of the 2 rearward arms SuperPro SPF2731K Rear Control Arm Outer Bushing Kit: 8 bush/4 tubes This part does 4 outer ends of rear control arms SuperPro SPF0823K Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Kit: (8 bushings, 4 tubes) This part does both ends of 2 entire trailing arms SuperPro SPF0462K Rear Sway Bar Mount To Chassis Bushing: 2 bushings For bar 14 to 17 mm diameter SuperPro LP8001 Rear Complete Sway Bar Link order 2 per vehicle I haven't done mine yet but am about to order them and give it a try. FYI: they are NOT CHEAP but WAY less expensive than replacing the "locating arms" or "suspension arms". I ordered a set of these arms and trailing arms from a junkyard and will rebuild those first. You will have to either press out or cut out or burn out the old ones. Guess we'll see.
