Anne; Are you referring to lower control arm bushings? Yes, they are important. They would have to be pretty bad to constitute a safety issue, but can definitely cause premature tire wear, steering pull, braking pull, ect. Most any repair shop should be able to do this for you, so might want to get a second opinion and estimate.
