Oh & I just read today to use 08+ bushings as they are thicker & fit the older 3rd Gens too.

Using mobile site so I can't see sigs or garages so not sure how this may apply to you.

Lower control arm should not really need to be replaced, unless damaged. The upper control arm should be replaced if the ball joint is gone.
