Pelican sells the bushing for the control arm with it already pressed into the holder...this will speed up your job immensely. Short of the shocks/strut cost, you are not looking at a big nut here...if the shop quoted $300 for one control arm replacement, you got to figure half of that is the labor, since you can get a stock ca for a bit over $100 and the bushing/holder combo for about $38. So that's almost $150 a side for the parts...again, agree with previous post, do both sides at the same time.
