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.

Remove the front wheels, then unbolt the lower control arm from the chassis and the spindle. Use a press or a suitable tool to remove the old bushings from the control arm and install the new bushings, ensuring they are oriented correctly. Reassemble the control arm, reattach it to the spindle and chassis, and then reinstall the wheels before lowering the car back to the ground.

How much does it cost to replace front bushings on Chevy S-10?

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.
