Its an aluminium part and you can't replace the bushes you need to change the whole thing. I did mine earlier this year as the bushes had completely gone. They need replaceing in pairs and BMW charge around £300 each for them. I managed to get 2 off ebay from a scrappy for around £65 took about 2 hours to fit.

Try replacing the anti roll bar bushes first as they are cheaper/easier to do and most likely the culprit
Mine was sqeaking like made reversing up my drive until i changed the arb bushes and then it was cured
bushes are no2 here...... RealOEM.com * BMW E53 X5 4.4i Stabilizer, rear
