Check out your state's web site. Things change county by county: http://www.drivecleanpa.state.pa.us/default.htm
You may also have the benefit of some fine print in the PA law:
"A vehicle driven fewer than 5,000 miles during the 12-month period immediately preceding the
inspection can qualify for an exemption sticker if you have owned the vehicle for one year or more. Just take your vehicle to an inspection station to verify your mileage and apply for an exemption sticker. Stations may charge a fee for an exemption. Also, if you have a new vehicle titled and registered for the first time and driven fewer than 5,000 miles, you can apply for an exemption sticker valid until the next inspection is due. Motorcycles are excluded from the emissions inspection program, as are vehicles registered as classics, antiques, collectibles,
street rods or specially constructed."
Lot's of other good information on that internet thing-a-ma-jiggy...

so then yeah i could definitely get an exemption sticker, but how would i prove that its been driven less than 5000 miles?
and on another question, if i just get the exemption sticker, do i still need to worry about getting the bearings fixed? like is it an important thing i should do?

Do you have paperwork from the last sticker? Just compare the ODO to that.
I assume you have bad control arm bushings? If so, those don't cost that much to fix. (Unless the car has been in an accident, etc. at some point in its history. If it has, that control arm may need to be replaced - which is more expensive.)
