How difficult is the job of changing UCA bushings on a 91?

Also any recommendations on a bushing set, or is OEM an acceptable replacement?

On the axle side? the uppers arent so bad use a pipe wrench to turn the bushings while a buddy taps on the side of them with a hammer and screw driver.

I would stick with the oem rubber bushings. Whatever you do, don't use poly unless you have adjustable control arms....they will break things.

Depends on the amount of rust on the sleeve... If they're seized up then you risk damaging the UCA trying to get the bushings out. It's easier to replace the whole UCA, but costs more obviously.
