 Does anyone know what bushings he was referring to and if there might be a

Two years ago I replaced all the suspension bushings EXCEPT the upper control
arm bushings because they looked good (and I was out of money). Sqeaks
remained . Last week I did the upper bushings ( $19.95 ea x 4 for both sides
and $25 x 2 for press labor both sides). No more squeaks. I did the upper
ball joints also ($30 ea).
Even though they were good they had torn boots.
