Vehicle experiences intermittent front end vibrations after its been driven for awhile. I suspect it could be worn out bushings.

Hello,

In order to remove the lower control arm bushings you will have to first remove the control arm.
Raise the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
First you will have to release the ball joint by loosening the nut that keeps the ball joint in place.
Be sure to have a jack under the control arm to control the drop of the suspension.
Remove the sway bar link.
Then remove the control arm mounting bolt, they are the two bolts that are keeping the control arm to the subframe.

Then replace the bushing.
