One of the bushings on each side include a new metal sleeve. I think it
requires a full blown press to be able to remove and replace these.
The others can be torched out and replaced

There are poly bushing sets availabe for about $70, but I forget which
company. I have the "polygraphite" ones from PST in my 92, and like the
improvement!
