front suspension vs. curb; curb wins 850 1997

Elder son hit a curb recently with the 855, instantly deflating the tire. OK, new Potenzas mounted today and alignment was checked. Alignment guy tells me the front right caster & camber are out of whack; something must be bent, most likely the A-arm. fcpgroton has the Scan-tech arms for a very reasonable $75; my question is (too late in the day to call them) do they come with bushings already installed, or do I need to get bushings separately?

Apparently the alloy wheel did not suffer from the incident, as it balanced OK. I'll keep my eyes open when I swap the A-arm, but is there anything else I ought to be looking for?
