This is a cheaper to make version that John suggested. A bit closer to a real solution. All the yellow bits are spherical bearings. The two at the back create an axis of rotation thru the centerline of the balls shown by the red arrow. This decouples the bending moment from the toe link that flexes the stock trailing arm. So no binding but they can still transmit inline forces and brake torque.

Damn Grant, don't you ever bother to look at those fuckin books? (I guess not otherwise you would have figured out how to mount the sumpguard mounts and the crossmember /support.) The part is the toe control link from 1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire 4x4 GpA View pulled back gives a better idea: 
This is the RS2000 rear stuff:
