Best is to use OEM bushings. Those are not expensive and can buy from Partsouq.com for a fraction of the price here in the US. Use Fedex shipping and you can get it in 4-5 days to your door. Enter the VIN and search the parts diagram.

If you heat the arm around the bushing a bottle jack should be fine, use common sense and don't over stress it. A 4WD bearing press (looks like a heavy duty C clamp) and cup and heat will work too.
