rear trailing arm bushing

I didn't have a good day. I dropped off my rear trailing arm bracket and upper wishbones at a shop to press out the old bushings and they screwed them up. Where can I buy upper wishbones and the rear trailing arm brackets without the bushings installed?

They only screwed one trailing arm bracket up, but the bent both the wishbones.

Take them to small claims court! They should be made to pay for ruining your parts.
