Is it better to purchase new bushings(POLY) or buy new full control completely? Any input would help.

i bought some energy suspension poly control arm bushings for the front control and the rear control.

the shop had to torch out the stock bushings on the front control (forgot the reason ?) so it was extra money.

the rear poly bushings didn't even press into the arms so i had to get a new rear arm. ugh. either energy suspension gave me the wrong set for the rear or it really doesn't fit. anyways, the shop told me that the stock rear bushings are designed better than the poly cause it was one of those metal ball joint kinda things ?

I just replaced my control arms with masterpros from oreilly. 162 bucks. better to replace the whole thing than fight with that bushing. took me about 3 hours.
