get under vehicle with out jacking vehicle off the ground hold sway bar with hands try to move bar sideways if bar slides sideways in bushings, the bushings are shot not a hard job to repair

Yes, generally after any major work on a front end a re-alignment is neccessary. Replacement of bushings and control arms could be considered major work.
In most Fords the rotor will come off when you unbolt the brake caliper.
If the bushings wear enough (usually are 95% of the squeaking problems) the front wheel alignment can change and can wear the tires faster if not make the vehicle pull to one side of or the other. There are rubber bushings on the bolts that attatch to the frame that keeps some of the vibration and noise down. They can dry out or harden and can either fall out or twist enough to wear metal to metal.

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.
