Control arm bushings

Are the control arm bushings replaceable or have to replace the entire arm? I tried searching but can't find just the bushings

Generally you will replace the whole arm. They are a real pain to remove (I've done it) which you can do if you want to install a monoball but I think it's better to just buy the whole arm as a unit. Both Bimmerworld and Turner sell these components.

The front one with the ball joint on the outside is a pain because the bushing is split so you have to compress the split to get it in. Can be done and it’s only $20 for the bushing, but buying a new arm is easier.
