Need some help Identifying Bushings - 2002 4Runner / V6 3.4 fwd

I had a coolant leak caused by a tranny fluid leak at the bottom of the radiator and it fouled these two bushings .....

What are these bushings called and does anyone have part numbers ?

Lastly how much tension are these under ? I am guessing I will need it up on jack stands ?

First pic if I'm seeing the one in the center is the support arm for the front diff. Unless you're having some 4wd concerns, I'd leave that alone.

2nd one belongs to the power steering rack.

Changing the 2nd, you might just change out your ps rack if its leaking out your rack boots. Atf leaks usually dont hit that area. Engine oil however, loves to travel.

Jackstands for better access to do the 2nd.

Agree, it does look like a valve cover leak, usually people miss the rear cam block off caps, or don't remove and reseal them and the aluminium half moons. Here are what I usually get, double check your part numbers, this will improve steering response and feed back significantly, I usually order the sway bar kit at the same time..

OPT has these front diff bushings, I'm sureToyota will look them up for you, and Iveseen other suppliers for these if you dig.
