Don’t use cheap parts, the labor and alignment is the big cost of the job, so don’t cheap out on bushings/arms.

Sell the car, buy yourself BMW M3 or Mercedes AMG. It is cheaper and lasts longer.
So, what I'm reading with Toyota the entire arm must be replaced? I am familiar with Honda lower control arm compliance bushings where only the bushing has to be replaced. Had it done on a couple older Hondas, Accord and Civic.Yes, that was the price per arm, so a little over $1,600 combined for two. Seems high from what I'm finding on researching parts + labor.
Toyota does not sell the bushings separately. Aftermarket does, but some of the arms are fairly “flimsy” and I don’t particularly care for how easily the bushing presses in/out of the arm.So, what I'm reading with Toyota the entire arm must be replaced?
