Basically...it holds the axle in place. The lower control arm works with the upper control arm to keep your wheel in alignment in all positions, and allows the up and down motion of the axle. Control arms = suspension arms

You'd want stabilizer end link bushings and stabilizer bar bushings (the bar bushings come in sizes for different thickness bars, the thickness being measured in mm).
The track bar bushings are hard to install if they're one piece. For that you might want to use a 2 piece poly bushing.

you need:
"sway bar to frame bushing" x2 - you will need to know what diameter sway bar you have.
"track bar bushing" x2 - for front suspension
I would NOT trust that ebay ad - doesn't even look right. Get the parts from an auto parts store that knows what they are doing. At least that was you can return the part if it's wrong.

for track bar bushings i think DIY approach will not work. I called them for a mopar branded track bar, it will cost me USD 130 here. I was thinking to order two bushings for track bar.
car feels weird when doing slow turns on a bumpy surfaces. it is like sliding (at back) then quickly it has grip on surface.
i will replace all bushings one by one.

Now I'm confused
Are we talking about front or rear suspension (sliding at back)?

Yes. 15mm bolts, IIRC. Lossen and turn according to which way the wheel needs to go. Might take a couple trys to get it dead center but its really easy to adjust.

You're correct
I was also told that when you're done making adjustments, line up the slice in the collar and the open place on the clamps, and then tighten it down.
