Some all thread, pipe, nuts and washers will let you make your own as well. http://www.crazysmopar.com/mycar_frontblog.html http://www.fourbarrel.com/lcabushings.html https://www.sportruck.com/howto/rebuildkit/5.htm http://www.manciniracing.com/unfrsuprotok.html They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I press out the inner shaft and then pry out the rubber. If the control arm has been used for awhile the rubber is usually destroyed anyway. The hard part is the outer shell. Welding a disc in there is one way to do it. Some guys use a really big tap and thread it out. My preferred method is to put it in a mill and use a big cutter to cut a groove in the shell.
