After replacing my front shocks, we found the left- bottom rubber bushing, attached to the A-arm, is cracked. The shock must be moving because of the bad bushing.... How is it replaced?? ( 2005 Yukon XL - 4WD )

look for shock mount bushing - Moog has them. a bit of a pain. remove the shock, and get a bushing press in there to remove and install. I think you will have to experiment a bit. I've not done this, but I'm now going to look at mine this weekend

Thanks..... I am not noticing any issues, because of the bad bushing, ...Maybe the problem is slight? Maybe it might seem better when it is replaced? Hard to tell, but I don't like worn out stuff.
Thanks for reminding me about Moog.

Looks like the Oreilly's supply chain is about empty. Moog K6724 But Walmart offers them at 18.00

Nope..... the bushing is still there.... I don't know how difficult it is to remove.
But honestly, I haven't noticed a problem as I drive.... the rubber is cracked, but the shock is well bolted to it. The rubber doesn't seem 'destroyed'...... just cracked....
Removing it..... as other bushings, like this one, I don't know if a hammer & socket will 'punch ' it out, or a torch to soften it, then knock it out.
A muffler shop or a suspension shop may advise you.
