Whats happeneing here? Sub-frame bushing coming apart?

So as the car is on the lift, I notice the subframe bushings coming apart, but strangeley, this is where all the pressure is and where the lift is supporting the car. We brought the car down and up again for other reasona and It slipped back into its place.

Theres quite a bit of rust around there and its a part some previous owner mus have dine some body work but not for a long-term fix.

Bringing up and down the car again, it appeared popped out again. Is there not a big bolt that should be holding this together?

Im thinking it may be completely rusted out inside that its not holding it.

Would this be accounting for rear end sway like feeling, especially when heavily loaded?

The other side was OK. Also the trailing arm bushing appear in pretty decent shape, no cracking etc... they probably aren't the originals.
