just buy a brand new one for your car. I know it will be more expensive but why run the rist of getting another bent control arm.

When I bent my control arm, I bought a control arm w/ balljoint and endlink from the junk yard for 30 bucks. It was off a 96 Legacy. Personally, I wouldn't get a junkyard tie rod, those are cheap enough, but the list you had seems correct. I don't think a new control arm is needed, too expensive.

That list is correct, you could by 4 or 5 used before you get to the cost of 1 new one.
I have this if you need it, but local resources should too.

Your list sounds about right. There's not much reason to spend the extra money other than for the fresh bushings. It's not like a new arm will be any less likely to get bent if you run into something else.
My used control arm from awhile back was $35 shipped. My balljoint and wheel bearing also got trashed so make sure they're alright as well. My used steering knuckle and bearing ($45) lasted a year and I just had to have the bearing and hub replaced.
