Default lower control arms
I have a 2007 Lexus gs 350. awd

both of my front lower control arms went out, the bushings inside of the lower control arms on
the front suspension and cracking and my car is making noise now when I drive.
Called the dealer each control arm is 500 dollars. wow!!
does anyone have this problem?
is there a cheaper solution?

Are the arms bent or broken or can you just replace the bushings?

Those bushing shouldn't make noise when driving, as my mechanic explained it has to do with when the wheel stops how much the cars moves forward.
