Idler arm loose, do I replace whole part or just bushing?

So in the city of winnipeg mb, canada today pigs are starting to pull over vehicles and bring them to a nearby city garage for "vehicle inspection" the dicks pulled me over and gave me a big list of stuff i gotta fix, within 14 days. I'm pretty upset about it, i'm not in a good situation for this right now. Anyways it's all stuff i think i can handle and was planning on replacing anyway; rust, daytime lights module, torn cv boot, and.... loose idler arm. So I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this part, it seems easy to replace but i can only find them for 150 and i'm poor. The bushing is obviously very cheap, would replacing the bushing tighten it up or does the part need to be replaced?

Holy heck, since this is in the section for this have no choise to assume yours is an IFS 86-95, best aftermarket available is the FA5040 from autozone. Ignore the year application, as they are all plug an play.

1 US dollar = 0.9605 Canadian dollars $35 USD = $33.62 CAD.

$50 CAD = $52 USD

But good point. Maybe not USD?
