Several questions on the trailing arms
«

I'm rebuilding the trailing arms and first question is the washer over the rubber bushing correct or does the edge needs to be pointing outward? Next, is the trailing arm for the driver side?

Your question is a little confusing. The trailing arms are different and must be installed on the correct side. They point slightly inward when installed correctly and the "half crescent" metal ridge is also in-board when installed correctly.

It is for the right side. Once you flip it over (installation orientation) the metal "C" is toward the inside.
