After you have disconnected the brake hydraulic hoses (left & right) remove the brake parking cable. Place a jack on the beam just so that it catches it. Secure the beam with a ratcheting nylon strap or equivalent to the exhaust hanger anchors, not on the rubber hangers. Next you remove the bolts that secure the beam.
You will need
or equivalent special tools to remove (press out) and install (press in). If the bushing is Hydraulic bonded you will need a plastic catch to contain fluid while pressing out.

You can get just the bushings at autozone, checker, napa auto part stores for about $30.00 to $35.00. You can replace them yourself or take the vehicle to the shop.

If you can find replacement bushings, take the control arm to a machine shop and have them replaced. The bushings are pressed in and you would spend the entire weekend trying to get them out by hand.

the a arms need to be removed, and the bushings pressed in and out , then you will need to reinstall them and the truck will need a front end alignment. You really need a qualified person to do this.
