Joints and bushes

I had my E86 checked over today prior to a trip to France at the weekend.
All is good to go but one thing that came up as a note is that "Both front lower arm ball joints have play and console bushes".
Ball joints I get but what are the console bushes? Is that a separate part that needs replacing, or is that part of the ball joint?

Sorry for the probably daft question. Just want to get right what I need to ask my usual mechanic to replace. :)

You’re best off buying the kit like this

Great. Thank you!

I had found this whilst I was away from here:
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/15767455

Would that also do the trick? Or is Ridex a bit... not so good? :)
 
I’ve never used that brand so I can’t comment.
I’m sure someone will be along soon with an insight to what they are like
