I used the Part # Dorman 905-520. bought on amazon Amazon.com: Dorman 905-520 Rear Rearward Suspension Knuckle Bushing Compatible with Select Saab / Saturn Models : Automotive
The tool I used Amazon.com: DA Yuan Universal Press and Pull Sleeve Remove Install Tool Bushes Bearings Kit : Automotive

Here are some pictures showing my set up. only the top bushing was worn out. Both rear wheels had lateral play. Bushing wash worn and had tons of play.
you will have to remove rubber boot from one side of the new bushing in order to press it in. They are just held by clips.

Not sure if you are planning on doing it yourself, but I had the same issue with my 15' Limited. I was able to press out the old ones and press in new ones. Was a challenge to keep the knuckle perfectly straight while doing the bottom ones, but with some time & patience it worked. If I had to do it again, I'd probably just pay a machine shop to do it. Good luck!

The same way you pushed it out do you push it back in that way or reverse it??
 
No taper. It's a straight bore. Just whichever side you prefer to have the tool, if you're left-handed or right-handed.
 
I did not say it was useless I said invaluable.
invaluable = valuable

Many people find it confusing that the in- prefix at the beginning of invaluable apparently lacks the meaning "not" found in a number of other words, such as invalid, inarticulate, and insane. In fact, the prefix does indicate negation, but in a way that is not immediately obvious. The original (and current) meaning of invaluable is "valuable beyond estimation"; the word describes something so precious that one cannot assign a price to it. This, clearly, is the opposite of the meaning "having no value; valueless" that the word might seem to carry. Invaluable actually has been recorded in the sense "without value," but such use has been exceedingly rare and is practically nonexistent today.
 
I broke down, not physically but the rear of my car is so out of whack the bushings only replacement wasn't cutting it to get the camber in line no matter what. Bought the replacement knuckles and they arrived today. Robbery I tell ya..... it is the new 68200070/71AD part with what they say is upgraded bushings so they have to be replaced in pairs. Also got all new spring, control arms, trailing arms, shocks and bearings. might be able to get someone to do an alignment on it ... will see..
