Recently replaced my spherical bushings in the rear spindle on my mk3 because the old ones were shot to shit. I could wiggle my rear wheels side to side no matter which way I grabbed it. Anyways I didn't want to replace the spherical with a solid bushing because of risk of fatiguing other suspension components, which from searching the forums can happen if it doesn't have a spherical bushing.
But the Camry of certain years uses the exact same spherical bushing we use in our rear spindle and a brand called Febest makes them for that application so I got them and they looked like pretty good quality and when i got them was rather impressed. They were nice and tight when they pivot. Anyways got them for about $17 shipped each on eBay and replaced them and now my rear wheels are nice and tight.
Febest part number is TAB-002Z. Anyways just wanted to share incase another relatively poor mk3 owner wants to replace their spherical bushings but don't want to buy the expensive Toyota ones. And just in case you were wondering, YES they were a bitch and a half to get in and out. I did it on the car using an extensive contraption of long bolts and giant sockets to pull out the old ones and effectively press in the new ones. Not very easy without a press
