Figure out what you need, then go to AutoZone or PepBoys or Advanced Auto Parts.

I think you may need a press for the bushings, I have no clue where you could get that.

Let us know what you find out.

Autozone will rent the tool you need for a refundable deposit.

well,if I didn't live in Norway that would be awesome So guess I'll have to buy the tools. But thanks for the help.

I got the old bushings out from the control arm, but pressing in the new (vertical) ones are a pain in the a*#. And believe it or not, the local mechanic will charge me 928 USD to change both vertical bushings. Not gonna happen!
