Help identifying what part to replace.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The back bushing on driver and passengers A-Arm has a lot of slop. But I can't seem to find the a-arm bushings for sale. Maybe I am missing something, all I can find is the center shaft.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

If yours are worn out, that is the correct part. Do you have a shop manual, it contains step by step procedures for replacing these.

The shaft kit does come with bushings look HERE. This should be the right one if nothing has been altered.

There is no bushing in that area. The shaft nut is actually the bushing and fits inside the upper a-arm. Here is a pic hope this helps.

Haven't picked up the shop manual for this vehicle yet. Definitely need to do that. So the shaft is the correct part to purchase then. Thanks a lot for the quick help!
This will be my first time doing front suspension. My father always did it for me years ago so this should be a good learning experience.
