Lower front strut bushing

I replaced my struts with new ac delcos last year. The lower bushing on the passenger side looks bad. I've been chasing a creeling noise on suspension travel. I sprayed every other bushing with pb blaster with no luck. Then I sprayed the lower strut bushing and it stopped. I don't see this bushing listed anywhere? What can I use? Or try for a warranty replacement.

Don't think you can replace those.

Hmm I might give it a shot though. Amazon wants Ac Delco to replace it but delco says Amazon should. Stuck waiting. Ugh no more car parts from crapazon.....

Ok I had the whole strut warrant replaced. On the strut it says the bottom bolts must be tightened with weight on the suspension or premature lower bushing failure will occur but the chiltons book says to tighten them while still in the air. Which is it?

If strut says suspension loaded, do it loaded.
