Saturn S series vehicles do not use a Strut arm... nor do they have a Strut arm bushing. I'm assuming your referring to the sway bar bushing in the center of the lower control arm.

The lower control arm bushing would be located at the inner pivot point where the lower control arm is mounted to the frame/crossmember. Depending on your vehicle it could have one or two bushings. The outer pivot point would be your lower ball joint.
