what you read is for the 2nd generation, for those cars the bushing is part of the strut rod, so replacing the bushing is more labor. For 1st gen cars like your own the bar and bushing are separate pieces, and replacing the bar will not include a new bushing as they are only sold separately.
The control arm is a completely different part of the suspension, it is what the strut rod connects to on the other end (opposite the bushing). Replacing the control arm will not do anything to failed strut rod bushings.

in the front of the car there are only one radius/strut rod. IN the rear of the car it is called the Carrier bushing, as it is the bottom most bushing connecting to the knuckle. In that case, the bushing on the knuckle side is part of the knuckle. The bushing on the other end is part of the traction rod (that your mech may be referring to as a rear radius arm). It depends which bushing is bad that you would decide how to proceed.
