Replacing just the bushings is fine unless the control arm is damaged or deformed. There is no real reason to replace the control arm otherwise, unless manufacturer specifications call for it. In those cases, though, you usually won't be able to purchase the bushings separately anyways.

How much does it cost to replace the upper and lower control arm bushings on a 1998 Chevrolet S-10? Upper control arm bushings are quoted at about 1.9 hours fro each side. However, if both are done then 3.5 hours total. Lower control arm bushings are 1.9 hours for one side and 3.4 hours for both sides. Just apply your shop's labor rate to the above hours. Note: Not all mechanics use the same book to estimate time for reapirs. This data is provided by Alldata. Mitchell Brothers could be different, as could the other services. Note 2: Upper control arm bushings are far easier to replace than lower control arm bushings because they are far more readily accessibly.

How do you replace control arm bushings on a pt cruiser?
To replace the control arm on a PT Cruiser you must first raise the vehicle, and then remove the front tire and wheel assembly. The stabilizer bar links from the Cruiser and rotate the forward ends of the stabilizer downward. Remove the nut and pinch bolt to ease resistance, follow up by removing the ball joint stud to the steering knuckle. The ball joint stud should be separated from the steering knuckle by prying down the lower control and up against the ball joint on the steering knuckle. Remove in this order: the front pivot bolt attaching the lower control arm; the rear pivot bolt attaching the lower control arm to the front suspension cross-member and frame rail; remove the lower control arm from the cross-member. Replace the bushings, and then reassemble the unit.
