What the heck is thing called?
We're at the front of the car.
There's an arm that runs back from the lower control arm to a bracket, which is attached to the frame with two big donut-like bushings. In my manual they call it a "brake control rod," other places they call it a "camber control rod" or just a "guide rod." Google it, and there it is in the pictures. But I've been looking online for bushings and they're not showing up under these names. I can't believe that nobody sells a set of bushings for this thing, whatever it's called, so what the heck is my problem here? Am I just being totally dumb? (happens from time to time...) Are they called something else now? Any comment - even if you just want to tell me that yes, I'm being totally dumb here - will be appreciated! Thanks.

Yep! It's in there - as a "suspension support bracket repair kit" And I see the donut bushings as well.
How did you find that? Anyway. Thanks. Much appreciated.

If you're changing the guide rod bushings and your car has rust then you may break the nut plates holing the bolts

Buy quality like Lemforder or Mercedes, you don't want to this job again anytime soon.
