I guess what I meant is, what exactly is wrong with the control arm that it isn't rebuildable?

the rear hockey puck bushing is shot. I didn't think they could be replaced because the arm is aluminum and couldn't take being pressed.

You can change all the bushings in the control arms just have to be careful

You can change out the bushings. I just did mine yesterday with the Moog ones. Crate Engine Depot is selling brand new ones there is well that are FE5.
