Default Whole thing or bushing only? 99 ls

I've been looking for bushings for both sides..but 180 each ...found some bushings by themselves. Can they really merely replace the busted ones? Or should I just bite the bullet and get the whole thing?

OEM Part Number STRUT BAR 4866040021. Around $123 + shipping. parts com .Any aftermarket part will be inferior quality and ruin the ride.
OEM Bushing can be bought separately part 48674-40051
You would need a 12 ton press to press the bushings into the arm.

I pressed out the center out of old bushing and used that outer sleeve to press in new ones in.

No, they are sold individually, so each side

Or have a shop press the old ones out and new ones in, if they can do it cheap. OEM bushings by themselves are around $40 each, if I am not mistaken.
