Default rear suspension arms bushings

Hello
Got the tranny fluid change done today on my 2000 camry, and while looking at the rear of the car I noticed that the bushings on the suspension arms on the passenger side were worn pretty bad (the one that isnon ajustable).I ordered arear suspension bushing kit and will install them when they arrive.This seems tobe an easy fix but my only concern is will the brake plate and drum move outward when the bolts are removed from the body.The car will be on jack stands with no tires, I will also mark the arms to be sure the get back in the same place the came from.Any thing else I need to know? Thanks

The knuckle is hung from the shock which is fairly ridgid, doubt if anything will shift too much when the arms are removed.

Take note of the distance between bolt bushing centers on the old parts and adjust the new to the same. When adjusting the tube between the two arm sections make sure equal amounts of thread are showing on each side of the tube.

If you are just replacing bushings the hole spacing should remain the same.
