Default Control Arms & Tie rod ends
The bushing for my control arms and tie rod ends are worn out and need replacing. Is it adviseable to only replace the bushing or the arms?

Default I just did it... $370 for a complete new set of arms/joints.. ebay.
That's the way to go.. Afterwards your car will be tight like new!! Should be about $600 labor for install.

Meyle are the arms I used they supposed to as good or better than oem.. who knows..

Default My 99'... is it Meyle? if so that's it. I think that's still a great deal for what you get.
It even comes with new tie rod ends.
