Are any of these $tealer$hip recommendations legitimate

I've gotten away from dealer/ shop service on transmissions. I use an extractor pump to exchange fluid through the dipstick hole.
 
$760 per one arm?
Sell the car, buy yourself BMW M3 or Mercedes AMG. It is cheaper and lasts longer.
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.

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.
 
The bushings are welded in the control arms. If the rubber isn't torn or the bushings aren't loose then you're fine. Norma lookingl for New England salt. If you're just doing non highway, relatively short distance driving keep an eye on your coolant. Take a look at it and see if it's dripping. If you see it dripping or have to top off with coolant then change it.

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.

I don't know what I am missing, but I did not see anything aftermarket for Camry, I would be confident enough to put on my vehicle.
