Default Try these

Replace your entire control arm complete with bushings
These are better than stock. Also replace the steering tie rods and you will be all set. A little under 300 bucks for everything including shipping An all day Saturday job if you take your time and lots of beer breaks and you will be as good as new. A LOT easier than replacing individual components. Put the control arm in the freezer for a couple hours and the control arm bushing in the oven at about 175 and the bushing will slide right on. (If your married-wait till your wife is gone for the day or she will get REALLY PISSED)
I have NO connection to this company just great parts at a great price.
Might want to replace your struts while you got everything apart. Check the strut bearings if you change the struts. Sway arm links also might need a look at
Get an alignment and enjoy your car for another 75000 miles
