See this thread. You will find some price quote for upper control arms.
You can check on-line vendors for parts price.
Why he want to change strut?
Strut doesn't go bad easily and very hard to test it unless it is leaking oil.

I got an estimate for $1000 to replace my control arm bushings. Mind you that is just the bushings. Not the control arm itself. The bushings run about 25 bucks each from the dealership so About 900 in labor.
