front wish bone bushes ???

Hi Guys
Ihave been told that the front wish bone bushes are shot and need to be replaced.

which is the most cost effective option replace wish bone bushes or do a full replacement of the wishbones and bushes??

Let me know your thoughts.

Are the wishbones a straight swap or does the car need a re-alignment afterwards???.Too lazy to have a look but my ffrr had adjustable wishbone bolts so needed a re-align everytime a link was removed Rolling Eyes
My nsf lower wishbone(rear bush) is f Censored d and clunking like a goodun and i think its time to swap the wishbone but if i need a re-align i will do both wishbones so i only have to pay for one alignment
