They said the bushings are shot in the control arms, struts up front and in back are shot, passenger side axle is torn. They quoted me $2100 or so to replace the struts, control arms and axles. Obviously I’m not paying that as I was planning on replacing the suspension with fj coils and some bilstien shocks.
My question is the control arms and maybe they A-arms, can I simply replace the bushings or do I need all new parts.

You can replace the bushing and ball joints on the control arms. You can get Toyota factory bushings, but not ball joints. A lot more work, as you have to press out the bushings. If you're set up to do it yourself is one thing, but if you have to pay a shop to replace the bushings and ball joints it may be a wash with all new arms.
I've decided to just go with new arms when I redo my suspension.
