I think your number 1 problem is all that rust. The photo I'm looking at shows a crossmember that needs (at a minimum) to be sand-blasted down to bare metal. The bushing is not a press-fit, rather my guess is that it's corroded to the crossmember.
It's hard to tell from the photo, but other parts of the assembly seem to be missing or in really bad shape. Have you thought about replacing the assembly with one in better shape? I buy used complete assemblies for $300 US, any sources on your side of the pond?
If funds are an issue, I find that a good quality paint will provide plenty of protection and that the powder-coat is more of a luxury solution.
