I have to replace both front control arm bushings on both sides. Are any special tools needed becises a spring compressor. Is this a job someone who can change struts can do? Any tips? Should the ball joints be replaced at the same time since everything will be apart? The car has 120000 miles on it. Thanks for the help John

You don't need to dismantle the struts to change control arm bushings. The ball joints are fairly easy to change and I wouldn't unless they've developped some play.
