Is this fixable?

Bravo 110cc ATV.

When I got this thing the bolt that holes the swing arm to the frame was broke and bent. I replaced it with a 1/2" all-thread which is close to 13 mm so it wasn't like the rod I used was too small diameter and it wobbled around. I guess this "bushing?" was cracked and weakened it and it broke on me.

I can't tell if this piece is part of the frame or swing arm or just a separate piece that has cracked. Shouldn't there be a polyurethane bushing inside in the frame? Or it this bushing just a piece of metal and that's what has cracked?

If the swing arm and frame butts up against each other, then what is actually broke? I'm assuming this is a metal bushing that has broke.

The main question is, how hard is this to fix? Do I have to replace the frame or swing arm or whatever this piece is (metal bushing?).

Could I extract this broken bushing and install a poly swing-arm bushing? Or modify a bushing from an end link to go in this hole?

Like I said, I can't really tell what's broken. I know that sound dumb but logic would say this should be a polyurethane bushing. This piece just looks like a solid metal bushing.

Thanks.
