The control arm bushings are pressed into the control arm. You must use a press (ball joint press with proper adapters, etc.) to remove and install bushings.

You may need to heat old bushings with torch to remove bushings from control arm.

If you are comfortable with this then here is what you need to do:

Remove wheel.

Use safety glasses while removing ball joint stud from steering knuckle.

Unbolt control arm from vehicle.

Change bushings.

Install control arm in reverse order.

You should get an alignment after doing any front end work.
