Lower control arm

My 98 Camry V6 XLE got an accident and the bushing of the right front lower control arm broken that cause the car shifts unexpectedly anytime. Now I have to pay full attention and hold the steering wheel very hard when I drive.
I searched but found no instruction how to replace it. Firestones charge $400 for the part (300) + label (100). I went to junk yard and got 1 lower control arm from 99 camry for $27 total. Is there anyone know how to install the lower control arm? Please post the instruction or the links. Thank you.

you can go to your auto store and pick up a chilton or haynes repair manual for around $17 bucks. i changed my lower left control arm and it was time consuming you have to be very patient.

Yes, and be prepared for stuck bolts. It got me into some major funk when I tried to do it myself. Loosen up all fasteners before taking any one of them off.
