Buy new one. Trailing arm.
or buy new Poly bronze bushings Tarret engineering???
Or buy Delrin from Chris Foley Tangerine racing.
I am working on getting solid control arm bushings from a roundy round race shop.

You can buy Polyurethane ones for cheap
Delrin are a little more
And the polyBronze are most expensive, but also the best (not counting roller bearings, of course)

How much labor is involved In changing out the bushing?

What do you charge yourself for labor?
Torch and a screw driver to burn the old one out and put the Poly ones back in Half a day.

took 2 hours to replace my rears. Most of that time as sitting there with a torch burning the old ones out. Cleaned the inside of the trailing arms with a small hone for a moment, silicon greased the hell out of the new ones and installed.

I used a press, and they came out very easily. I have a set of brand new poly graphite bushings that I installed on the arms, but never put on the car. I'd sell with the bitchin grease for $45 plus shipping. I got them from Strasse. I decided to go to poly/bronze

I installed grease fitting on each bushing. I use white lithium grease.
I've got one that is screwed up now after 15,000 miles and alot of racing on slicks.
