Remove the ball joint and the two bolts that hold the rocker shaft to the frame. Keep track of the shims! You will need to put them back. The easiest way to get them out is with a press, but you CAN use a vice and beat the hell out of them, although I wouldn't recommend it. Chances are, the shaft will NOT come out with both bushings in the control arm, keep that in mind when you press the new ones in... You will need to re-install the shaft BEFORE you press the second bushing back in.

Why is your steering so loose on your 2000 gmc jimmy?
The fleet of vehicles where I work have many S10's and Sonoma's 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive. The front end steering and suspension parts I see wear out the most are the idler arm and pitman arm joints on both 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive. On the 4 wheel drive the lower ball joints wear out fast. I also see the upper control arm bushings on the drivers side go bad from the heat coming off the exhaust manifold.

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.
