is it worth it to just get the bushing and have them pressed in or i mean you can go to oreily's and get a entire new lower control arm for $100.99 each.. and those have "Limited Lifetime Warranty"

Unbolt sway bar end link (remove from LCA), remove shock mount retaining bolt, unbolt from steering knuckle ball joint then unbolt from chassis. In that order.
Replacement is easiest if you replace ball joint position and shock mount position first, then use a thin chisel or a very strong screwdriver to insert thru the chassis and bushing to line up the bushing with the hole in the chassis. That way the bolt will go thru. Rebolt at chassis position, then of course tighten sway end link.

Also helps to have a gooseneck wrench to hold the bolt on the backside.
