cant seem to find it on rockauto or fcp or idaprts just in the rear lower control arms themselves
most i found it on was vwparts.com but then its not actually listed... just shows it numbered in the diagram(s)

Or @oilhammer do you think I can beat the concentric bolt out of the bushing, without ruining the bushing?

The bushing you speak of is not an individually replaceable part, unfortunately. You'll need the whole LCA, they're $79.95 @ ID Parts.
The eccentric bolts will come out with a bit of finesse. You can "rock" the bolt out and then as the tip of the bolt clears the "nut side", you'll be able to twist the LCA and slide the bolt out. Shouldn't hurt a thing.
Part# WHT 000 228 if you needed it.

well I’m about to give it a go, cause the bushing itself looks fine still… but with 400k km on the nut, she’s corroded in good

Worst case if you have to split the nut it or something, it's not attached to the subframe so you can replace it if need be.
