Worn bushing?

I've searched an all I can see is "replace your bushing" or "sounds like worn bushings" but I can't find exactly what part numbers I need?
I recently got an alignment and it turns out that after the mechanic touched it the car got worst. I took it to another shop and was told my bushings were worn and I had to replace them he showed me the movement on the bushing by pulling on the arm. But while looking online for the part I see like 4 arms! So I can't tell which is which

Can anyone tell me which bushings (or arms?)I need to replace to fix my alignment?

Maybe a pic of the part he was pulling on would help figure it out? Toe, camber? Was this front or rear of car?

It was rear and from under neath I'm almost positive they were the lowest arms one for the front and the rear the main culprit is which ever one that controls the toe. I can feel the car "crab walk" as I merge over the white bumps in the road and not all the time but lost of the time

If you need to replace, you could go OEM......or you could also get the Ingalls kit for around $150 which will replace both of the toe arms/camber arms. This will also give you more adjustability (for the Allignment) <-if needed. I am not a mechanic, so maybe someone else can confirm my thoughts......

I am lowered and have the Ingalls rear toe/camber arms......

As far as I can tell the cheapest oem is 120 +/- per side! Haha thanks I'll look into the ingalls kit . Is it a two piece kit with two different arms?

Yes 2 arms each side. One for toe/one for camber.....the Tl doesn't have a factory camber adjustment(with the kit your TL will). Our vendors here on Azine have the kit......HeelToeAuto and Excelerate.
