If you don't know what you're doing, you will hurt yourself. You'll need an air hammer, a port-a-power, a jack and jack stands, and a bottle jack.
email me if you really want to go through with this, as the answer is a bit long... a little too long to be feasibly typed out here. Next time I have to change them out, I'll try to make a photo log of the procedure, because you really need to get eyes on this repair in order to get it right. Like I said, you can hurt yourself badly if you don't do it right.

Since The Villager is of unibody construction, there are only a couple things that can be considered "subframe bushings". Sway bar bushings (front and rear), rear leaf spring bushings, and the most likely, control arm bushings.

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!

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.

Suspension or bushings bad on a 1997 4x4 s-10 Blazer front-end squeak over every bump when moving if you push down on the front It sounds like a rusty spring but could it also be the bushings?
Check the shocks first they will squeak pretty bad when going out ( dried out seals ). Bushings will squeak but they would have to be pretty bad to do it when just pushing on the front end.
If you have replaced the clutch on an 82 str6 -3 on the tree van but it still is very stiff would changing the pedal spring help it or hurt it?
It would hurt it. Changing the spring will make the pedal harder to push down. The spring pulls the pedal up.
