Clark,
Sorry guy but technically you are incorrect.  The nylon bushings that
support the bolt that holds the vertical link in the Spitfire (and some
other Triumph) rear suspension are called trunnion bushings.  And the
housing that the axle passes through and has a hole for the above
mentioned bolt is referred to as the Trunnion housing. 

Regards,
Joe
