You cannot replace just the bushings. You have to replace the whole control arm.

On a 1998 Ford Explorer ( same as my 1995 ) Ford calls the smallrear shock absorber that runs on an angle the ( rear axle differential shock absorberor lateral shock ) As far as I can figure it is used to stabilize the rear differential ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician )
I do not believe they are replaceable, I believe thay are available aftermarket.
The cost to replace a front strut rod bushing on a 1998 Nissan Maxima is between $50 and $150, for a person who does it on their own. The cost varies based on the part brand or kit bought.
Take it apart, install new shaft bushings and brushes. Check diodes and regulator, replace any defective components.
How much does it cost to replace the upper and lower control arm bushings on a 1998 Chevrolet S-10? Upper control arm bushings are quoted at about 1.9 hours fro each side. However, if both are done then 3.5 hours total. Lower control arm bushings are 1.9 hours for one side and 3.4 hours for both sides. Just apply your shop's labor rate to the above hours. Note: Not all mechanics use the same book to estimate time for reapirs. This data is provided by Alldata. Mitchell Brothers could be different, as could the other services. Note 2: Upper control arm bushings are far easier to replace than lower control arm bushings because they are far more readily accessibly.
Detroit Shock was created in 1998.
Tulsa Shock was created in 1998.
Four upper and four lower.
to replace the shocks in a nut shell, take off the rear tire, buy a spring compresser and compress the springs, there is bolts that hold the shock in, take those out, one at the top and one at the bottom, after that pull the shock out with the spring, and put it back together just how you took it out.
Could be loose exhaust pipe or bracket, loose top bushing on shock, or check top of air bag to make sure it is tight. Check all control arm bushings also.
