This is a 'bump' to inquire if anyone can give an OD on the bushings in question. Thanks in advance for any help.

I did this job a few weeks ago. Was tired of the squeek squeek coming out of my rear end. Well, not my rear end, but the cars rear end.
I was curious to know what exactly caused the squeek. I knew it was metal against metal, but wanted a clear view of what it was. Now I'm sure all the older members here have see this (yawn, yawn, scratch head), but the rest, well, here are some inside pics after I cut the bushing in half.

You will notice in the first pic, it's a ball joint type bushing. In the second pic, you will see there is a nylon lining, that once tired, and worn out, fails to do it's job.
