Can someone give some advice on uneven tire wear?

[ATTACH]Can someone give some advice on uneven tire wear?-tire2.jpg[/ATTACH]

So Ive been having ridiculous tire wear on the front insides obviously more than normal. I'm not a super tech kinda guy but the tire shop suggested that this bushing on my control arm is broken and looks mostly like the reason to blame for my cars pulling to one side and uneven tire wear. I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as to how much this repair might run and if this is most likely the culprit to my problem! Any feedback would help greatly

basically your bushings for your control arm are shot to hell man....you will either need to get new bushings and get a shop to remove your arms and press the new ones in or get new complete control arms that come with new bushings already in

I would say thats the main cause of any uneven tire wear.
