Unfortunately the bushes are not available seperately, i had same problem on my estate and had to but new shocks. FMD want about £290 each, managed to get some from local motor factor at about £330 the pair, think they were made by Bose. Even kept old shocks but cannot source new bushes no one does them, and the metal fixing bar is part of the bush and set into the rubber when it is made, by the looks of the mounting even if you could somehow get the buses you would severely damage them trying to fit them with a press. Also the whole rear suspension needs to be lowered to facilitate the replacement of the rear shocks, not enough room to just drop them out.

So the only answer is to buy new ones, sorry mate.
