    Need a press, also check the tightness of that bolt. If its tight its most likely the bushing going bad.

    No, machine shops or suspension shops have those. If you take to arm off and bring it to a shop that has one. I'm sure they would press out the old and press in the new for a small fee if not free.

    just get new oem control arms from rockauto, brand new bushings and everything, they don't have them under Grand Prix but, the impala ones are the same, not too hard on the wallet either.
