I think the 95 - 01 are all the same, and 4WD/2WD are the same design also. You don't change the bushings, you need to change the entire control arm. It comes as one assembly from the dealer. It's not difficult, one nut and bolt per bushing (2 total) and one nut and bolt that hold the upper ball joint in the spindle. You will need to get an aligment afterwards. Oh, and bring the VIN number when you get to the dealer, there is a high risk you will get the wrong part (don't ask how I know that). Also, you should know if you have a one piece or 2 piece control arm on the right hand side, helps with getting the right part first time. Left hand side is one piece only. Good luck.

Use a ball joint press. You can get one from Harbor Freight. You'll most likely need the accessory kit as well. You can use the press in different configuration to press the old bushings out, and the new bushings in. Even the front upper bushings in the axle can be pressed out, although it may be a little tricky setting up the ball joint press to do the job.

The bushings are pressed in, as well as the upper ball joint. You can buy the entire control arm for under 60 bucks at Rockauto, or $70 at autozone.
