I got a quote for $1300 to replace the bushings on both sides on my 1993 S15. Its very involved to get the control arms off and then the bushings have to be removed and installed with a machine press. It turned out to be cheaper to replace the control arms myself for $250 in parts.

You cannot replace just the bushings. You have to replace the whole control arm.
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.

To replace the upper control arm bushings on a 2001 Chevy Express 3500 van, first, lift the front of the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel, then unbolt the upper control arm from the frame and the ball joint from the spindle. Use a bushing press or a suitable tool to remove the old bushings and install the new ones. Reassemble by reversing the disassembly steps, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.

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.
Currently it seems like you have no choice but to replace the complete arm, that is all I can find available.
yes if they need it and you can tell if they are fried
