Bushings

[Jeff65]

If you're doing the work yourself perhaps replacing the bushing seems to be the most economic answer, however it seems to me the cheapest purchased labor would be to replace the lower control arms (LCA). These come with the new bushing and a new lower ball joint. No rework of the existing LCA is required so its a fairly quick remove + replace action. Each LCA is $47.50 in the NPD parts catalog and is likely no more at Autozone. Although you pay more for the LCA than for the bushing, the total cost is about the same. It takes a half hour more to replace the bushing in the existing LCA given clean up and press work (twice per LCA) making labor more expensive to replace the bushing only. The advantage of replacing the LCA is you get a new lower ball joint free in the deal.
