Default So...do I need a new front lower control arm? Bushing install gone bad?

So I thought I would attempt to remove my own crusted *** bushings and install new ones. Only problem is, my sawzall gouged part of the control arm. Please keep in mind this is not a racecar but I would like to make an decision with safety being my #1 concern. This is also the first time I have ever done this (dur)

Well I can honestly say I'd rather pay for a new used flca and know how to do this than had brought them to a machine shop and paid.

Thats not to bad. I've done worst to customers cars >.< but if you want to be at ease of mind, pick up some used ones from a junk yard or where ever... then go at it again but this time... ease up on the uberness
