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

How do i change the control arm bushings for Chevy venture?
There are two methods of changing control arm bushings. One method involves removing the damaged bushing arms and pressing out the bad units. When doing so it may be best to replace the bushings of both sides of the car. Since the control arm has been removed anyway and if the vehicle is of mileage it also may be the best opportunity to replace the ball joints. The second method would be purchasing a complete control arm assembly with new bushings and ball joints already installed.
Would bushings affect steering control?
Yes, Yes, Yes.
How do you replace the front control arm bushings on a 2000 Chevrolet Impala?
It is very unusual that the control arm bushings would be bad this soon. Has a repair shop looked at them? It is not an easy job especially if you are doing them at home. Go to a parts house or a bookstore and get a Haynes Manual and it will give you full details with pictures.

How do you correct a swaying problem on a Nissan Pathfinder?
I had the same problem with my 1996 Pathfinder. I, like you chased after the sway by replacing the front struts, the rear shocks and having a four wheel alignment performed. I called my dealer to ask if they have seen similar 'sway' issues in other Pathfinders. From their response I gathered that this is a common problem with the Pathfinders. The fix for me was to replace 8 bushings in the rear suspension. Because these trucks have coil springs in the rear, they use upper and lower trailing arms (one upper and one lower on each side of the truck) to hold the rear axle under the truck. There is also a panhard bar, but I didn't replace the bushings in it. To have the dealer replace the bushings is a bit salty to say the least. The dealer will not replace the bushings. They will replace the entire control arm, 4 in all. I can't remember the exact price, but I think that the upper arms were around $130 each and the lower arms were something like $170 each plus the labor to install them. I opted to buy the 8 bushings and install them myself. Each bushing was less than $20. I will warn you that changing the bushings, although not complicated, is not an easy task. The bushings are a press fit into the control arm. A shop press of at least 20 tons is required to remove and install each bushing. I have access to a full machine shop so I was able to fabricate custom punches and holders for the control arms. Had I not had these holders and punches I would have likely bent the control arms and or destroyed the new bushings during their installation. I suspect that the dealer replaces the entire arm because it can be quite difficult and time consuming to remove the bushings and install new ones. I hope that this was helpful. This is just an update: (Oct 2008) Nissan (in Marietta GA) estimated $1300 to replace the 4 control arms. I bought the 8 bushings for $268 from the Nissan Parts dept. and Pep boys said they would replace each bushing for $50 each

My 2001 Chevy Blazer driver door hinge is very worn and I would like to replace it. The wear is beyond the bushings the holes are oblong now. I don't see fasteners. Are they welded to the body?
Hi What you have are worn bushings on your door pins . I just replaced mine. You can purchase the bushings at a any gm garage the spring in the door has to be removed it is a bugger! Unless you have a door spring commpression tool (i purchesed one at my local auto parts store $18). These bushings wear and crack. Support your door , remove door pins with a pin punch, replace the bushings, replace pins ,replace spring. Hope this helped!

Can you replace an automatic transmission to a standard transmission on a 1995 escort?
You can do anything you want with money but it would be much cheaper to just buy another escort that is a standard shift.
