This is overkill for such a simple install, but I had a camera handy....



The bushing is labeled #2 in the drawing (the shop manual calls this the lower control arm rod insulator bushing).



The kit includes (2) polyurethane bushings, (2) convex washers, (2) metal sleeves, (2) flat washers, a packet of lube, and an assortment of smaller washers that will allow you to adjust your caster. I also had to buy a deep 24mm socket for the center nut. Beer sold separately.



Get the front of the car up on jackstands. Remove the center nut (24mm). You'll notice the factory bushing flexes quite a bit. This explains the lethargic steering response. Remove the four nuts holding the bushing plate to the subframe (13mm).



Once you've removed the five nuts, pull the bushing off. As pictured, my Goat had a washer (#10 in diagram) on the driver's side, but not on the passenger's side. I left the washer in place.



Lube both faces and the insides of the polyurethane bushings. Insert the metal sleeve into the bushing.
See the extra bushing i am talking about on the drivers side? Now i just have to find out why GM does that.
