are those the right kind then? they say rear suspension. Duralast/Sway Bar Bracket Bushing. I look on autozone with my car and those are the ones that come up. But i want to make sure so i dont buy them and then have to take them back.

I'm not sure what the technician meant by the term "Rear Wheel Bushings". Could he have meant rear lateral control rod bushings? Those do go out, causing a clunking sound, but you usaully have to repalce the entire rear control rod; the bushings for those are not replacable. The ones in your picture look like rear swaybar bushings.

I would call the tech back and ask him what exactly he meant, asking if he was talking about rear lateral control rod bushings or rear swaybar bushings.

The bushings shown go around the rear sway bar and attach to the body. There are other bushings for the sway bar end links, those are probably replaceable only with a new link. You need to get clarification from your mechanic which bushing(s) are bad.
