Can someone tell me what to search for/buy if I need to replace the bushings on the end of the center link/drag link (whatever the correct name is). I have to drop it to put a new gasket on my oil pan. I’ve searched and found things that look right but nothing that specifically says ‘b body drag link bushings. And to confirm it is the center link haha, it’s the one with two bushings on each end running directly under the oil pan.

If you could come install them for me that’d be cool too .

Thanks for any help or direction!

There are no bushings in the center link, only tapered holes to fit the tapered studs of the following. However, you do have joints in the tie rod ends[ outside holes], an idler arm[ inner hole rh side] plus a Pittman arm[ inner hole lh side]. All of those are wear items and need to be replaced if out of tolerance/loose.
 
Ok, what are the rubber things in the picture? Those are what I’m talking about. Those are part of the other parts you mentioned? Can I just buy the rubber or I have to buy the whole thing? Sorry, this is my first venture into suspension things

1) Buy a Factory Service Manual or download it from the web.
2) Go to Rockauto.com and look at the pictures of suspension parts. You'll get the right terminology for the parts you need.
3) Go to YouTube and do a search for removing the centerlink. Watching someone else do it will make it much easier for you. Alternately, use the search engine on this site to get tips on doing the job. The manual will tell you how to check the serviceability of the existing parts.
4) The rubber seals hold grease in around the joint. There are ways (see above) to remove the link without harming the seals, but if you do manage to tear some, your local NAPA store has replacements.
Good luck...
