Poly Flex front end bushings
starting to get a wobble in the front end. No sign of play when someone is steering left to right while I check underneath. I’m going to jack it up and tug around on some things this week but thought I’d get a head start on bushing replacement ideas.
looking into poly flex for all the bars (if they’re the culprits). I counted 6 total, is this correct? Please tell me what I’m missing if not.
Anybody know where I can buy these online without purchasing the whole kit for every bushing known to man?
I found these so far:

But thats all I got

Ok wow now it shows up. When I was searching powerflex before the panhard bushes were the only ones popping up. Here are some more:

And, they can't just pop in, if they aren't a press fit, then they're loose, and can't do their job correctly.

I had the wrong notion on these things then hah, so rubber bushing just slide in or I would need to press in? Any recommendation on what I should use instead? Just looking to do this job at home if possible, without constantly taking to a shop to fit bushings.

Silicone spray and a big C clamp can usually get it done, but, sometimes you must have a press.
I'm just talking about control arms too, as sway bar and end link bushings are usually not a problem.
