Default Is the Lower control arm bushing the same as a ball joint?

I need to replace my lower control arm bushings. I already did my upper control arms and my ball joints. now my mechanic says I need lower control arm bushings. Please if someone can help me, also with a part number. thanks

There is a lower ball joint in the lower control arm, but its not the same as the bushings.

In a word, NO.

The bushings are the rubber things at the inner pivot of each lower arm, usually 2 per arm.

The balljoints are on the end of the arm, right out near the road wheel, usually 1 per arm.

The bushing number I have here is JLM 021535, and you will need 2 per arm.
