That's the best I can do.  Rock does sell a few full control arms for the 323, which CLAIM to include bushings, but only show the front pressed bushing.

RC, that is for the FRONT not the REAR.

As far as I know there are no replacement bushings, as they are cast into the arm. (they're also known as Lateral Links, as opposed to control arms, in the rear)

You may be able to find a matching size in urethane replacements. I've not looked into it though. I think they designed it for the whole link to be replaced, with a few other Mazda cars that is the case.

I've always heard them called spindles. As far as i know they are specific to the Capri, the Mazda 323 GT used them but they are far more rare.

Your best bet would probably be Russ on that one.

I might have a set laying around, but the rotors are probably too pitted to be usable at this point.

No pull-a-parts near you? There's usually a capri or two in the jyard I visit.
