Front suspension questions?

Hi everyone, I havent' been on this site for quite a while but i still own my Maxima and just put new tires on it and got an alignment and I am still getting a little vibration in the front. I looks at my lower control arms and noticed that the bushings look like they are cracking. I am almost sure that this is the culprit.

My question: what is my remedy? Do I have to get new control arms, or can I purchase new bushings and press them in. Also, if I were to get, say, Energy Suspension bushings, would I be giving up some ride quality?

Thanks in advance.

Awesome thanks! I already took a look at ES's wite and got some part numbers. My only concern is what will it do to the ride quality? I don't need the car to handle any better than it already does.

you might wanna contact Brian at Cattman...he carries most ES bushings for our cars at a better price. they will be stronger and last longer but shouldnt change the ride much.
