Lateral link noise

Been having some rear noise when turning corners slowly or turning into the driveway. Crawled under her today and saw the lateral link bushing (passenger side of link) was torn. The search engine didn't have too much except that the whole link needed to be replaced. Is this worn out bushing common, and is the only alternative to replace the entire link with an OEM part? Any advice/input would be helpful as the noise is annoying and I want to eliminate it.

This is on my 4th gen...thanks

MOOG FTW!!!!! yes, replace the whole end link, not just the bushings. Moog makes good stuff .... the higher end stuff is worth the money - just put them side by side (Orileys offered me two, one cheape than the other) and i noticed a huge difference just looking at them. very common, more up front IMHO, but rears also go out. easy job really .... jack the car up on that corner to take the weight off, makes it worlds easier.

Thanks! Do you have a link or can you direct me to the Moog replacement you would recommend.
