Worn Bushings? Don't know what it's for.

[keny_kimmel]

This is a crappy diagram of where it goes, I know it's worn but what is it for? Is there a kit where I can get all the bushings for under by car at once?

The Actual bushing.

Those are the strut rod bushings, 3rd picture down:

You can replace them if you want, but those don't look like a problem.

If your doing all the bushings anyway might as well replace it. There should be a set of bushings in the back and a set in the subframe. Its also a good time to check to make sure that the cup that those bushings go to is still attached to the subframe. If they get loose they can cause a clunking. Check with Russ at RCM for a bushing kit.

Or buy a complete set of TPR bushings from RockAuto for about the same price.....

I do have a clunk when I am slowing or stopping, I know it's not fuel because it's coming from the right-rear area (maybe left-rear too?)

those don't look to bad, if you have the cash to do it now, why not, but if not, it's not something that looks as though it's going to cause you any probs, but the clunking, sounds like your subframe bushing reciever is come loose of the sub frame, you can weld them, is what i did, or there is a kit from moog i believe that replaces them. someone will have the info i can't seem to find it at the moment. anyhow good luck on whatever you decied to do.
