Cause of control arm bushings failing Sign In

I have a 2006 MinicooperS. I have been told I need the strut mounts and lower control arm bushings replaced, plus wheel alignment afterwards. I want to know if I have only the bushings replaced will they be damaged if I don't have the strut mounts fixed as well? I can only afford one repair at this time. Seems the dealer said that both had to be done. Thank you in advance for your help.

Everything in the front end has to be repaired before a wheel alignment can be done and once you start replacing anything up there, the alignment becomes mandatory so it's an "all at once" type repair.
