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.

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.

First you jack up the side of the car you want to replace the control arm bushings and support it with jack stands. Remove the wheel. Remove the stabilizer bar to control arm nut and bolt. Remove the balljoint clamp bolt and nut from the steering knuckle. Remove the bolt and washer front the control arm front pivot. Unbolt the control arm rear bushing retaining strap. Remove the control arm from the car. Once the control arm is off the car you can replace the bushings in it.
