The rubber on the upper control arm doesn't appear very deteriorated. The reason for removing is how the car was handling and bad ball joints. I decided to do all because the other SD drove so much better with all new parts installed at the same time. I like to take care of the entire system and not need to go back in for a long time.
I installed the bushings in the LCA without incident and know how that bushing is configured. I'll try more stuff after having been away from it for a while.

In the pic of my no good Lower Control Arm Bushing the what is supposed to be a solid piece of rubber sheared into 2 pieces of rubber inside of the bushing.
I stuck some toothpicks in part of the sheared area but it goes all the way around inside of the bushing.
I would have posted the pic in my previous explaination but did not have the pics with me at the Library.
