89 240 has rusted control arm. Is it worth saving? 200 1989

Save it.
I thought it was an easy fix. I just unbolted the housing the rear bushing is in, the bolt at the front bushing, ball joint and everything else attached to the control arm. Then just put back in reverse order. To get my alignment right I had to push the balljoint inwards when tightening the bolts. I got my control arm from upull but I think I saw Volvoskip.com ( not 100% about the address) have a used for $30 some time ago. About the bushing I'd personally replace it. I think it took me about 1 hr or 2 and I'm not as car savvy as other guys around here.
