The parts look about average in price. I find National brand hubs and get them for about $110.
It's not hard work to get the lower A-Arm off and can be done in about an hour or less. And getting the bushing out is a heckuva lot easier than getting it in.
The labor on the hub is a tick high. It's 4 bolts and an ABS sensor wire.
You will need an alignment, though.
If you need new bushings, might I suggest you price the cost of a new Lower A-Arm. I bought 1LE lower A-Arms (yes they are still available in spite of popular rumor) for $130 each and it came with new lower ball joints as well.
It won't save you any money, but it will certainly save you a lot of time and headache.
