lower control arm

[mitsubishi2001]

i have 90 toyota camry has only 193k

i have some experience with squeaking noise when the car slow down to stop, today get tires replacement, and alignment done. notice that the bushing on the lower control arm worn. how easy to replace the bushing assuming i can take the lower control arm out of the car. the chilton shown how to remove the control arm but does not mention about replace the bushing.

on the rear suspension, the sway bar bushings worn too. how easy to replace those bushing.

Thank you,

Control arm: if the rear bushing of the lower control arm is shot, it can be replaced by a new bushing. You will have to press out the old bushing. My mechanic id both of them for cnd $100. If the front bushing is shot you can get new or reconditioned arms. I sawa few on e.bay. Dealers are always a choice, but $$$$ ouch!

Sway bar bushings is an easy job.

I have joined this forum to get some information about lower control arm bushings. A friend of mine has a '90 camry and has been told that the bushings need replacement. He has also been told that they are only sold as a complete control arm unit... (that's like $800 total to replace) He doesn't have that kind of money. So is there any tool that i can use to press my own bushings from e-bay? and how hard is it?
