Suspension problems!!! Please Help!!

Recently I've been having issues with my cars front end. First there was this annoyingly loud buzzing noise that came and went. Now there's a creaky noise every time I go ove even the slightest imperfection in the road. Took the car to the dealership and was told that I need to replace both lower control arms and both lower control arm links. They did not quote a price however. I've been searching on the internet for these parts but have had no luck. Anyone ever done this before?? Where did you find the parts and how much??

Control arms are available on Ebay. You can buy replacement end-link bushings/bolts at your local dealer or try suspension.com for Energy Suspension (performance) bushings.

The control arms on ebay are NEW and are 80 bucks shipped and include new ball joints, control arm bushings (not sure what type of bushings are included).

Make sure you rule out the more common causes of squeaking first (ie the upper strut mounts and nuts/bolts not torqued to spec).
