One way to know that a control arm bushing is bad on a Chevy Malibu is from the noises you will hear when you are driving. You will hear a clunking sound. The steering on the car will also not be as good as it once was. You could also experience drifting of the car as you drive.
use airchisel to remove bushing then threaded rod with two big, thick washer to compress bushing . take socket to drive bushing in with maul and used some bearing grease to assist in install , dropping passenger side control arm makes it easier. what knuckles

The squeak is caused by lack of lubrication to the steering bushing. Pull the steering wheel off. There is a rubber bushing that surrounds the steering shaft. Remove the bushing with a thin screwdriver. Once removed clean the bushing and shaft. Then add anti seize lube to the shaft and and bushing. Then use a 7/8 " deep socket to drive the bushing back into the steering housing. Clean and add anti seize lube to the bottom of the steering wheel . Then install the steering wheel.
i would leave it alone.
