460 model. Dealer says replace lower number two control arms. Should I replace all control arms at once, or is just one side? Should I replace upper and lower at the same time?

See picture, all the bushing should be checked and replace what is worn. Also will need front end alignment after.

Okay the first diagram I sent was wrong because of model. This one may be wrong as well because there is a difference between AWD and RWD illustration is for Rwd. Next time give all info like engine/transmission/Awd or Rwd /manual/automatic transmission. Thanks.
