Can anyone give me advice and tell me what tools I will need to replace the bushings on the panhard rod and radius arms? Will I need to take them to a shop, or can this be done at home?

You'll do it yourself - but better get someone to "do" your bushes (press them out, also for refit if you choose rubber).
You need only plain ordinary tools.

Check Ottos homepage for details:

I just did these and I managed with a 5 ton press. I know that this is sometimes not enough... You can forget about using your bench wise.

If you do want to give it a whirl your self - to get the old ones out - burn out the centers with a torch (MAPP gas will work to) and then cut the remaining outer sleeve with a sawzall or hacksaw - just one cut will do and then knock out the sleeve.

Back in - what was said above - you'll need a press (I used 25 ton - but that was overkill - just what I had)
