So this will need attention in 10-20’s kms. Is this a big and expensive repair? Other than that they said it’s in good condition. Thanks for your feedback!!
It's ~$1000-$1300 if you get a dealer to do it. They will just swap out the both left and right control arms, cause it is easier for them to do it that way.
If your handy, just purchase the arms ~$700 and do it yourself.
If your really handy and can get hold of the appropriate tool to press the bushes out then you can just purchase the bushes ~$60 each and do it.
These bushes are almost consumables. Some report getting ~100,000k from them, others report about what you say ~50,000k.
