The Mazda dealership tried to do that to my wife, took it to my own mechanic and all they replaced was the bushing

I just did my front lower control arms on my 14 FXT. It's the forward bushing that usually wears out and causes a vibration at highway speed. My driver side one was pretty bad.
Cons: vibration at highway speed
Vehicle:
Subaru
I just had mine done on my 2019 Forester with 112K miles for the same reason I see yours - the bushings are shot. It made a night/day difference in handling. I had noticed the car had gotten less "planted" and more skatey on the road over any rough pavement or bumps.
Pros: night/day difference in handling
Cons: car gotten less planted
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 112000 km
I do recommend the S3 or RS3 bushing if possible. FCP has the corteco version for something like $10 each. It’s a solid rubber version that will last longer and I noticed no increase in NVH on my Mk6 Golf.
Pros: lasts longer, no NVH increase

I currently have energy suspension bushings all around on my 69 Camaro. Lube them up well when you install them and they won't squeak. It will ride a bit firmer as it won't absorb road imperfections like the rubber bushings do.
Pros: no squeaks (with lube)
Cons: firmer ride

Chevrolet Camaro
Since you have a decent driveline the only modifcations I would do would be poly bushings for front and rear subframes
Pros: better time in corners
Vehicle:
Lexus
If they are Febest etc perhaps as not the same as OEM quality
Cons: not same as OEM

KYBs are probably the higher quality shock/strut. But their bushings in their full assemblies are HOT garbage. They break apart pretty quickly.
Pros: higher quality shock strut
Cons: bushings are garbage
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
There are aftermarket replacement bushings like febest, but they suck.
Cons: poor quality

Ford Territory after a year or two magpapalit kna agad ng bushings and take note buong pangilalim ang replacement then yung engine transmission supports ganun din ang bilis masira.
Pros: pasok sa warranty
Cons: bilis masira
