    I didn't know you could replace the bushing, you should look into that option zadam.

    ...or I do have the bracket for the driverside

    Pretty much all bushings should be replacable since they are a "wearable" part.

    Good to know, I have a bad one that I've been limping along and ill try to fix it next time the axle is dropped. The bushings seem like they're clued in and that's why I was thinking they were non serviceable. Maybe just a really tight fit

    If they are like the control arm bushings they need to be pressed out and in...a local auto machine shop did mine in 10 minutes and charged $10-15.

    I had ordered my replacement bushing from here in the past:

    pressing the new bushing in doesn't require a large press ... but you're not likely to have much success trying to pound it in with a hammer (just picture trying to drive a rubber nail).
