Tell you what I'm glad the wandering steering is now gone, that stuff is fun when you are going up I70 and the chain ruts are throwing you around on a roller coaster ride.
I replaced all the original rear bushings a year or so ago and went with Whiteline poly bushings. I had noticeable wandering/sway at the rear when on the highway.
The difference was very noticeable. I also had approx 210K miles on those originals so most anything would have been an improvement.

I suspect at least one of my arms is original since the cam bolts were rusty while they are totally clean on the other (I suspect a PO had an issue with the other side trying to get it aligned and just replaced the whole arm at the request of a shop) and if so it has 278k on it.

Anyways just got back from buddy's shop. One side barely even needed anything at all on the press. I suspect I was super close to getting it with the bottle jack. Other side however, holy smokes was it in there. I'm betting we probably loaded it around 6 tons or so but that's just a guess based on how much it took before it went bang, and then bang some more and more. The washer that's pressed onto the sleeve was bent in just a tad from that, anymore and it might have just bent into the outer sleeve and pushed the rubber out with it then it would have been sawzall time >< It was in there really really good but we got it out. Biggest PITA part of this was knocking down the flange to get the bearing puller on. Getting it knocked down under the arm was a a chore, use a combo of punches and chisels and just kept fitting the puller on to see if it was good. Anyway my bushing saga is over and it's time to clean and paint the arms then put whiteline bushings in and then install them on the truck.

Lol for sure. I've grown to love the bang a press makes when it just slipped several tons of stiction. Mechanical advantage is such an awesome thing.
