Replace Lower Control Arms - "Bushings Are Smashed" - $1,200?
I just put my 2007 LS460 in for an oil change and general check with my normally very reliable and honest mechanic. She is telling me that I "Need lower control arms replaced. Bushings are smashed".
1. What does that mean?
2. Is $1,200 a reasonable price for that work?
Thanks.

First we need to know what you mean. There are 8 control arms in the front...which ones need to go. Further, the lower control arms on the 07 cars are the money makers. So it's best to have them all updated and eliminate this issue going forward.

Aftermarket parts and bushings are cheaper, but if you walk up to the parts counter you can negotiate a 25% discount...check out a thread on the subject.

Not sure what the price would be including shipping though.
