I've been replacing a bunch of worn down suspension components on my Grand Prix recently so I can help you out a bit. I've replaced the front and rear struts, front and rear sway bar bushings, and the rear sway bar. When you say you don't see where the strut unbolts from the knuckle, I assume you're talking about the front struts right? GM went with a strange design for the front struts where they don't bolt to the knuckle at all. Instead they are removed from inside the engine compartment through the strut towers. Why they decided to do this I don't know, but this is the method for replacing them: You WILL need the special strut tool to get them out. Part number is MS 6275 for the Matco version. To replace the front sway bar bushings you need to lower the rear of the subframe to get the sway bar out of the car. That's the only tricky part there. The rear suspension is pretty straight forward. When replacing the rear struts you have to keep a jack underneath the rear knuckle to keep the leaf spring from suddenly pushing the suspension downwards once you remove all the bolts, but that's really it. The sway bar bushings on the knuckle are easy to replace, though the ones in center of the car will require a bit of work because they are in a metal retainer that clamps around them. I'm not that great at directions, so if you need any help feel free to ask.
