I asked the guy who aligned my car how much he would charge and he said probably 3-400.
Once I was hot and dirty trying to do mine with Oreileys borrowed and beat up loaner tools that was missing pieces I was really beating myself up for trying to save a few hundred dollars.
I do a lot of work on my own cars and that job sucked. A lot.

Pretty much this. If the OP has the tools and skills to replace the arms himself, but can't do the bushings etc. by the time you start adding up that labor and good parts, a set of quality entry level (not the Chinese knockoffs) control arms starts to make more sense.
