If you have a Mercedes SLK R170 with a 320 engine it's almost exact the same.

Note:
You have to work with critical parts when doing work on suspension. Only do this if you have enough knowledge !

5, Checking the rubber bushings and the ball joints at rear end, part 1:

The rear axle of the Crossfire is much more complicated than earlier axels of American cars I have had. It has five arms on each side that hold the rear axle in correct position. If you compare with the front suspension each A-arm is divided in two separate arms, and then it's also a fifth arm that increase the stability. These five separate control arms gives better control of the geometry compare to twin A-arms.

This rubber bushing maybe look a bit bad, but I couldn't feel any flex in it. The lower lower control arm has a plastic shield on the lower side, maybe to reduce the wind resistance or only as a protection from dirt.
