I would stick with the rubber bushings on the control arms and only replace them on the passenger side, assuming that's the side that broke. If you feel ambitious you can do the driver side. Check the upper on the passenger side above the exhaust, since that usually goes first. Don't bother with the driver side uppers unless you are really compulsive. To get to them you need to pull the A/C, alternator and I forget what else.
Just my opinion, but having done them all once, I was crazy to do the driver side uppers.
