upper control arm bushings replacement?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did a quick search on replacing the upper bushings, but did not find anything for the steel bushing control arms, just the rubber. Just got my new truck back from the inspection and they say it must have them. I know the guy is being a bit picky because he also failed it for no rearview mirror even though it has two side mirrors, but what are you gonna do.
Does anyone have any advice or better yet pics? I don't believe it looks that hard but I like to know what I'm getting into. Any help is much appreciated. Dave
