Default 2000 LS new bushings in the rear, which ones?

the heim joint bushing which is pressed into the hub carrier, for the camber arm is worn and can feel the play. Also the rear most upper control arm bushing has decent forward backward play when i rock the tire on an angle. I see the control arms comes as a subassembly with new BJ and two bushings so I will get that for both sides, 180 at lex of south atlanta (cheaper anywhere else?)
Where do I get just the bushing to press into the carrier? looks lik its called knuckle bushing.
http://www.roca-usa.com/product.php?...roducts_id=778

i only need the knuckle side not the chasis side as there is a heim joint there.

Also, the seal between the CV shaft and hub has throw grease all over the suspension components, is the grease seal dunzo on it, or will fixing the suspension ensure that it doesnt wobble and squeeze the grease out?

none of the factory joints are heim joints. did you mean a ball-jointed end? You need to either take a picture or use a diagram.

Sounds like you're talking about the lower control arm or the rear carrier bushing.

its a spherical joint, its in the knuckle pressed in, camber arm attaches to it.
Founda thread in the GS forum outlining it but ofcourse didnt bookmark it.

Also need the bushings that the Adus 578 kit shows, however theirs is only up to 95 cars. I need those for a 00.
Can get the whole arm with bushings and BJ from lex of south atl for 180 but...im cheap, and got a press. Actually, jsut rembered about CL discount, i shall give that a try

and liek i mentioned because of the worn bushing si was having grease come out where the driveshaft meets the spindle.
IS the oil seal toast or now that its not wobbling should it be ok?
