If they are quoting you replacement of the entire parts and not just the bushings, get a quote from an independent. Most likely, there will be aftermarket bushings available. The next trick is to try to figure out which of the bushings made are likely the best, or least worst, as most are made in China now.

Make sure that there is no oil leaking from something else and getting on the bushings, as that's going to cause them to deteriorate. Also, consider that the others may not be far behind.

I'm getting ready to do all the bushings in a 23-year-old Honda, as they've all passed their useful lives. Not fun, or cheap.
