Default Rear wheel knuckle

Is the outer bushing assembly for the lower REAR trailing arm (rear wheel) pressed into the wheel hub knuckle or is it a loose fit?
I know the trailing arm comes with the inner bushing as a press fit but the outer bushing is in the knuckle.
My car is a 2002 X-type.

The rear trailing arms are two metal links that connect your rear axle to the body of your car. Their purpose is to allow the rear axle to move up and down freely while maintaining proper vehicle alignment. The trailing arms themselves don't contain any moving parts.

So...?

Default Huh?

Thanks for your reply but it has
nothing to do with what I asked.
Of course the rear trailing arms contain no moving parts.
My question was about the outer rear lower trailing arm bushing.
The lower rear trailing arm has an inboard mount with a pressed in bushing.The outer end is held in place by a bolt which goes thru a bushing in the wheel knuckle (the part that holds the hub/wheel bearing).
My question was simply: is that knuckle bushing pressed in or a loose fit, i.e. can it be removed without a hydraulic press?
The knuckle bushings on each side of my car are bad.

Identify the correct part name from the link above and you will probably get an answer.

Default rear bushing

I’m referring to the trailing arm rear
bushing, #4 in that diagram.
Is it installed into the hub holder or knuckle with a press or is it a loose fit?

Default trailing arm

What Jaguar calls a trailing arm I’d call a wheel knuckle or hub carrier shown in diagram as # 2.
I’m trying to replace the bushing #4.
