The upper & lower pivot pins you have marked 'B' just have grease seals in in them. There are no bushings. If they aren't torn, hard , or missing you can leave them alone. But, they are easy to replace and are available from Fusick for $2 each. Because the pivot pins are used to adjust caster & camber, you'll need a frontend alignment after replacing them.
