I call it a rear v bar. Sounds good to me.

It's also referred to as "The upper link" or "upper a-arm".

Is it a rear control arm?

Kind of, but not really.

The rear control arms are the 2 lower arms from the frame to the axle.

I guess "upper control arm could work", but it's really the Upper a-arm or Upper v-link.

Well are the bushings the same for the rear control arms as the upper a-arm?

No.  The lower control arms use lower control arm bushings.  The upper a-arm, upper 3rd link, upper v-link uses bushes made specifically for it.
