Have you tried searching? It's called compliance bushings and a lot of people have DIY'd them. https://www.google.com/search?q=diy+...hrome&ie=UTF-8

There are a total of 2 bushings on the lower control arm.
You can either replace them by removing the LCA and taking it to a auto body shop and have them press out the bushing and put new ones in
OR
buy new control arms. You will have to do both sides even if one is broken.
Just note removing the lower ball joint is going to be a bitch if you've never done it before and if you do tackle this job just make sure to buy lower ball joints.
In my case, I ended up replacing both lower control arms.
