Both statements made by the technicians are correct. Replacing control arm bushings often requires special tools due to the need to press out the old bushings and press in the new ones, which can be difficult without the proper equipment. High-performance urethane bushings, while offering improved handling and durability, can indeed transfer more noise and vibration into the passenger compartment compared to softer, standard rubber bushings.
