Is this what your talking about? https://www.gmforum.com/t285040/ These are universal bushings. Get them at autozone.

Other than used, you are probably looking at Dealer only. Lower cost online dealers are:

GM Parts Direct: Your direct source for Genuine GM Parts

Monster Parts Online

Monster is usually better when considering total cost with shipping.

Another consideration to look into:
On some ’00+ cars, the control arm bushings are liquid filled.
When customers complained about excessive vibration, GM had dealers replace the regular bushings with this type. (I’m not sure if any cars came off the line with these or not).
I have heard of failures on the liquid filled ones where the fluid leaks out and they become sloppy.

My non-liquid filled ones are still fine after 10+ years and 200k+ miles.
