The key to getting the job done with the least aggravation is how long it takes to get the old bushings out.

Seeing as your control arm is bent, I would buy new and get poly bushings. You can install those bushings real easy if you don't have to burn, cut, scrap, press out, etc, the old nasty ones. You can set up the bushings in the new one, get it all ready to go, then just swap it with the old one. You'll probably need a good breaker bar for the steering knuckle/shock bolts, so be prepared for that.

Good luck.
