Default New Bushings

Had same time over the holidays to replace some bushings, DIY, on my LS, which fix vibrations at high speed (LCA & stabilizer bar bushings) and during braking (rear axle carrier arm bushings). The work is easily the best time and money I have spent, which yields the most noticable results. I also found one bad UCA bushing which I will replace as soon as I receive the part.
Check those bushings if you have similar symptoms.

Thanks for the info. I found out this week I need to replace

A bushing on the rear right, can't remember what it is called but visually it's rear of the axle and farthest down I think [have it written down]. Also repack them(?).
Front right control arm.

Both supposedly need a shop to do them, but I'd like to do them myself if at all possible.
