control arms and bushings

[99 sheila]

I recently got my front brakes replaced and the mechanic I took my 99 sunfire gt said that my front bushings were worn out and need to be replaced. He also said that my control arms should be replaced as well since he'll have to take the old ones off anyways and they too could be replaced.

I was wondering what i would need for parts for either the bushings and the control arms or if the control arms arnt necessary and i could just replace the bushings. I am planning to do this on my own with a friend's lift and am leaning towards the MOOG bushings and maybe control arms if necessary.

I'm looking more for the best bang for my buck and not best of the best. Any help would be greatly appreciated

If the control arms are not cracked, bent or rusted pretty bad, leave them alone and replace just the bushings.

I would go for MOOG.

Dont forget to replace the lower ball joint while you have the arm out.
