Prices have crept upwards; 3-4 years ago more people had jobs and the Upper Control Arms cost less. That and not having to develop a new skill/labor to change the UCA Bushings might have made replacing the UCA more appealing then it does now.

Last year I bought new Transmission Cooler Hoses for less than $10 each. Now the same place is selling them for $13 each.
At the new price I would consider only changing the hose with Clamps and re-using the Fittings
