just bushings
one can also heat arm ends to get them out easy
or make press with a cheap bottle jack
on some cars here, they ,must burn them out. a nasty process that. id never do here.
im sure they press out,did you read the 96 fsm on that.

im guessing front "A" arm service.
chapter 3c
its there 3c7
getting ball stud off spindle they show special tool but many makers sell generic tools for this, lacking that tool hammer hits, and pry
there are only 2 ways, the tools proper or mr, hammer,
heat the spindle gently, then tap the ball, stud,smartly, bam off, do not attempt to get spindle knuckle ends red hot, it wrecks the tempering.
BUSH:
now the bushings, if you look they use a standard shop press. same page
see 2 special tools
those are just a drift and a pipe.
one fits the bush size
the other fits rim /arm of bush outer size.
and you press it out (again heat can help on the arm bush shells)
they also sell arms new, pre fitted with bushings
any suspension shop in my town can press those off and on for like $25 a pair. id let them.
our buy the whole arm. ready to rock.
getting right parts
fixing car is easy, finding parts that fit or not clone junk is not easy , its not skill (moving targets)
its luck.
mostly
just buy top brands, and I agree, some dorman parts are junk, some are not, like TPMS sensors.
but some parts for imports, are from china, and rebanded
i read they closed plants here, and started using junk in place of quality usa made parts.
top names first
dorman after above.
china clones , last if ever , only in pure desperation,they make a good 8v exhaust manifold.
some other parts like ball joints look and feel weak.
