Just to confirm, it's the bolt circled here?
I took this pic yesterday while it was on the lift...I'll have to check it tonight to see if this is loose/broken

Yes, the link I posted also has a pdf that shows it clearly as well.

Just tried turning the bolt and it's in there super tight, not budging. The car is on the ground with full weight on the tires... if it was loose/broken in there, would I need to take the weight off the tires and free up the rear suspension to turn it?

Check out the 2 pics below, looks like a sloppy blue mark on the bolt so I'm not sure if the bolt turned since the original install?

The picture shows the bolt as been moved from factory mark, either tightened or serviced at some time.

The pictures make your bushing look torn? Is it? If so that may be the issue the play in the bushing, take a pry bar and move housing up and down does it move?
