Lower Control Arm

Hope y'all are having a great day! I took my car to the dealership for an inspection and they told me that my left and right lower control arms needed to be replaced because the bushings were worn out or loose. I was wondering if I could just replace the bushings itself since I am on a budget right now, and if so would the Whiteline LCA bushings be a good choice? I found some here: http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/Whit...1-p/w52991.htm but I got confused between the Inner and Outer part. Do I need to get both (the inner and outer) or only one of them ? I appreciate it guys, I am new to the car scene as well as new to the car itself, any answers are welcomed! Cheers.

well when i had a couple of bushings on my old g35 go bad i just went and bought the whole kit and changed all of them. i used the whiteline set. just find a good local mechanic who works on nissans and it should not cost too much to change them

You're best off just buying the bushing kit and having a local mechanic swap out the bushings, the arms themselves should be fine

Hey guys, I was looking online and I found some Driveworks control arms for $65 each with a discount I had. And the whiteline LCA bushings I found were also $65. Please correct if I'm wrong on the bushing price guys, if it's really the same price I will just replace the whole arm. If y'all still have the link to the bushings y'all got please send me it. Thanks

Im in the same situation but my drivers side lower control arm bushings are toast. I'm cheap so I just decided to order a control arm from eBay for $33. According to the fsm it looks like an easy swap. After a wheel alignment should be good to go.
