Default Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing (Hub Side)

I did a search and couldn't find anything, I took my car into Firestone to have an alignment check done, they told me that they could not verify due to my wheel bearing being bad, I can home and checked all the wheel bearings with a dial indicator and they were all well within tolerance. I did find the bushing where the rear lower control arm meets the hub has ALOT of play. I was just wondering:

1) If anyone has done one
2) If I need any special tools are needed
3) If anyone has the Mercedes part number

Mercedes is usually quicker at getting parts in and I have a race this coming weekend. I checked the service manual and it says nothing about replacing the bushing. Any Mercedes parts website that even shows the part lists it as $0.00 so I hope it isn't discontinued and now only comes as part of the whole hub assembly.
