Default Replace entire control arm?

Can I just replace the bushing on my lower control arms or do I have to replace the entire arm? If I can replace just the bushing where can I buy it? Thanks

You can replace the bushings w/o having to buy the entire arm. If you have the ability to replace the bushings on your own or can find a place in your area that can do it then your good to go in just buying the bushings. Neither myself nor my mechanic could do it and I tried about 5-6 places and they could not or would not install it for me. I ended up buying new arms instead. Those bushings I have for sale right now in the classified section:
