Lower Control Arm Bushings Vs Entire Replacement

[brondash]

This may be a duplicate of an earlier message. I am not sure it was actually posted.

I am in Dallas and need to decide if I need to replace the entire lower control arm assemblies or just the bushings. I understand from one mechanic that it is not a good idea just to replace the bushings. Apparently they never really work right when you do that.

Does anyone have any ideas.

Guys usually replace the whole arm with bushings in it. By the time you buy new bushings and then have them pressed into the arms you're almost at new arms in cost.

That's not true.

You will save money.
