Buy the bushings and deal with burning them out on your own. Time consuming but doable. I have done them on three SC's. Way cheaper than new control arms buy far.. .JMO

I have 1992 sc400, if you have the time to have the car out of service for some time in case you run into some difficulty then buying the bushings, for a few $100 dollars is the way to go...now if you want to take a few hrs in one day then go to ebay and buy the lower control arms (left and right) for around $700 both. I did not have the time so I bought the control arms and installed them in about 4 hrs, I did take my time since it was the first time doing it. Good luck with your project.

You can do one side at a time for roughly 4 hours each side if you do the bushings route, which, IMO, would also add performance in your suspension. And a set comes for the entire front suspension, meaning upper and lower control arms, every single bushings those 2 have.
