Control arm bushings

[gchemist]

Has anyone replaced their A-arm bushings? I have one that is making noise. I suspect it's a lower one. Looking at parts from www.rockauto.com, replacing the upper shafts as a whole kit is worth it. The lower A-arms don't come in kits. Sets of bushing for both sides are available. Has anyone tried to replace them without unbolting everything? I mean not removing the coil to replace the lower bushings? My mechanic says he had done it.
