I know which bushings are bad -- it's the ones holding the control arm to the frame at the inner end of the control arm. One bushing toward the front of the car and one toward the rear. I grab the rotor at 3 and 9 and move it side to side, and I see play in both the front and back control arm bushing. No such play in the LH control arm bushings.

What I'm saying is, assuming these are replaceable by themselves (which I believe they are), any risk in just swapping out bushings as opposed to doing a whole control arm ? I don't want to eat a whole control arm if just 2 new bushings will take care of the problem.
