This is happening far too much in the auto industry. They don't want individual parts changed, but entire subsections of the car. Totally insane.

Actually, i just had bushing replaced on the lower control arm of my 2002 Civic. I should've just gotten new control arms instead.. 3x the price of bushings, but cheaper labour though. Comes to about the same price.
