Where are the bushings for the low control arm on 1996 chevy tahoe 4wd located

I saw two of them 1 for front susp - rear and the other for front susp - front. Do I need to get one of each or two of each

    the lower control arm is part of your suspension,some times called a arm ,because that part looks like the letter A ,removering could break your teeth,because the coil spring is riding on it,be very carefull when working around that area.

    if yor gonna do it yourself ,raise the front of your vehicle ,place on jack stands,to relief coil tension.remove tires,your suspention should be dangling up in the air,try to suport the lower A frame with a jack,by slipping it under the a arm.loosen the ball joint nut ,and seperate ball joint from spindle hub assembly lower the jack from under the A frame .the coil spring should stay in place.use safety and common sense.,now at this time you can remove any part of the suspension you wish to work on.bushing replacement is a peice of cake.give yourself about 3 hours of down time.for each side.

If you are replaceing both sides (drivers & passangers (recomended)) you will need 4 bushes in total 2 front susp rear & 2 front susp front. There is 2 bushes both sides (front of front & rear of front) The lower control arms go from the chassis to the lower ball joints (just behind tyres at bottom) will be a big job!

SOURCE: 2004 Nissan Quest front control arm bushings

That control arm is technically un-servicable and by the end of the day after finding something,then trying to wrestle these in where they work properly,probably the best, easiest and cheapest in the end is to replace the control arm.

Testimonial: "Thanks Jeff. I bought two control arms online and my mechanic installed them for me. He was surprised that they were not serviceable."

SOURCE: rear suspension,bushings,2005 jeep liberty

Generally the bushings aren't too expensive (likely about 25-30 each...But, unless you have done this kind of work, driving the bushings out and installing them can be difficult without a press. I've done many in-shop and its nothing like the ones I've done at remote locations using a hammer and chisels etc. You can do this yourself but I'd opt to do the r&r at home and have a machine shop do the actual bushing pressing. If you damage the arm ends you will need to replace the arm or do a bunch of bending to get the bushings back in place.
If you do have a press, than go at it!!

2008 Chevy HHR front rear control arm bushing installation

Hi Dan:
If you have a micrometer (fancy word for a very accurate measuring tool) you could check, BUT, the odds are you have the right bushing and it is indeed a VERY tight fit.
Mechanics trick.........
- Put the new bushing in your freezer overnight and KEEP IT COLD until you're ready to install it.
- Put the part of the control arm that will receive the bushing in some boiling water, or heat it with a torch provided there are no parts that will be damaged.
Working quickly, locate and insert the bushing. A press or large "c" clamp may make the task much easier.
Cheers.

What r problems to be on the look out for on a 1999 chevy malibu with the 3100 v6 in it and there is a rattle when i hit bumps or rough road the struts are fine

Broken stabalizer links, broken stabilizer bar, and worn out stabilizer bar bushings are fairly common. As well as the rear bushings on the front lower control arms. A quick inspection of the front end and you should be able to tell if the links are bad, bar is broken, or the lower control arm bushings are separated. If the rear bushings on the front lower control arms are seperated the lower control arm will look like it is resting on the subframe.
