420 SEL Rear Suspension Problem

I got my tire mounted on the new rim and put back on the car - no change. I took the car to the alignment shop and was told that the right trailing arm was slightly bent (leading edge of tire bent outwards (toe-out) by 14 degrees from center. I checked around and the lowest price on a new trailing arm is around $1300!!! Not wanting to bite the bullet just yet, I found that the Parts Bin sells eccentric trailing arm bushings for under $17 each. Their P/N is L2006-16072. I am assuming that these are specifically designed to allow toe, caster, and camber to be adjusted. Has anyone tried using these before and do you think this would solve my problem?

Also, how difficult is it to replace the trailing arm bushings and is this a DIY job? (I have lots of tools and a spring compressor).

Thank you,

T.C.
