    Bushings are part of the LCA.

    I THINK you just need a 48409, and a 48190 per side. The rest can be removed and reused as long as they are in decent shape. please verify before you buy parts. I can’t easily verify where I am at the moment.

    By looking at the small amount of rust on the LCA’s and on the back of the brake/dust shields I’d say 97% chance they are seized.
