Trailing Arm Bushing ESM Spherical Bearings

Hello Folks,

I'm new to this forum and looking forward to be part of this community. I recently purchased a track car a 1994 EG CX. I want to make it a bit more daily friendly. There is this annoying knocking sound coming from the rear suspension area. I jacked up the car and pin pointed the issue. The previous owners installed a spherical ball bearing on the trailing arm and is making that thud sound when going over bumps.

This is the one installed in the car.

Does anyone have any insight on where I can get a replacement bearing?
Can just the bearings be replaced?
Is it normal to have a bit of up and down play?

Worst case I can replace them with K-Tuned bearings.

Thank you for your help.

That's what I'm trying to do today. But from what I have found ESM Racing is no longer in business and the link I shared above is just a reseller. They also don't ship to Canada which sucks.

Or just put normal/aftermarket bushings in it.

I might just have to get slightly better bushings than OEM. Perhaps the K-Tuned ones.
