How hard would it be to replace the bushings in the control arms and sway bar end-links, as well as the tie rod ends? The control arms for example, if I pulled them one by one and replaced the bushings would it be a simple unbolt/re-bolt? Or do the arms get stubborn to remove?

 

yes they are stubborn. probably best to take off one at a time, otherwise you have to use a come a long to pull the axle backward to align the bolt holes. I used a porta power to do mine but had a jig to hold the arms. A heavy duty vice should take care of the sway bar bushings. heat the oold ones and they'll fall out. grease new ones for assembly

Thanks for the info. It'll be my first time doing these things. The come along is a good idea.
