I took the car in for re-balance of tires and found out that there is play in the passenger side front steering. The strut also squeeks when turning the steering.

The motion is coming from worn rubber bushings that hold the end of a rod that is attached to or near the inner tie rod end. Does anyone know the name of that rod and rubber bushing. The bushing sets inside a cylindrical casing about 4 inches long and maybe 1.5 inches in diameter.
Can I do this repair myself?

Also what is causing the squeek in the strut... and what can I do to fix it?
