Default 86 5K Steering Issue

I have a banging noise coming from the left front wheel. The noise happens then I get a sudden jerk to the left then back to the right. Sometime it even feels like the left front wheel wobbles, but doesn't fall down. I've had the front end looked at by a shop near my work. They are telling me the front end is tight and the alignment is off a little, but not enough to cause the jerking.

How hard is it to replace the lower control arm with the bushing?
