Just as a suggestion, check for other worn parts/bushings so you can replace them all at once, to aviod paying twice for labor and alignment.

Control arm bushings usually start to go out at around 100k miles, so you definitely should get them inspected.

I might be interested in the remainder of your air suspension stuff. I'm going to try to keep mine going as long as possible.
