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. This ends up being cheaper than buying the parts separate, and saves you having to press them in & out. The bushings are pressed in, as well as the upper ball joint.

How are upper control arm bushings replaced on 1991 Chevy s-10?
The upper control arms can be fairly easily removed, placed in a vice and disassembled. This is not something you really want to do at home. But as easy as it is if you have the time and tools, the dealer will usually talk you into replacing the entire control arm, especially as old as this one is. The holes the bushings fit into wear as well, and the ball joint on it is probably shot too.

How do you replace the lower ball joint on a 99 ranger sport?
Unfortunately, the entire lower (or upper - I forget) control arm has to be replaced when the ball joints need replacing. In any case it's not something I was willing to tackle in my driveway. Even if you could, you'd have to get the front end re-allighned. I had mine done professionally. Done in one day....and $850.00 later. I had both drivers side and passengers side done, uppers and lowers. Otherwise nobody will guarantee the reallighnment. You can replace the lower and upper balljoints without replacing the entire control arm and you can do it in your driveway.you will need a ball joint removal tool /ball joint compresser tool which is available at autozone . it is not that hard to do,there are several sights where the job is explaned in detail.you will need to get the front end alligned afterward.if your vehicle has a awful lot of miles on it say 200000 or more you will want to change the control arm bushings as well as the ball joint or replace the entire control arm with ball joint and bushings included.replacing the entire control arm ,upper and lower is probably the best way to go but it is also the most expensive . if you are replacing your balljoints for the first time at say a 100000,your bushings should still be OK..I replaced my upper control arm with balljoint and bushings because it is easier ,however I replaced just the lower ball joints,total parts cost 250.00 , allignment cost not included.The job took about 6 hours
How much does it cost to replace front bushings on Chevy S-10?
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.

Frankly, This is the mechanic covering himself.on a vintage car such as this, there are many different variables that can occur. I'll bet he is just taking a few snapped bolts and stuck bushings into account. if it takes him less time, he will probably credit you the labor. but in short, this is what i would give you as an estimate.
