Question lower control arm

I just had the ball jounts done. I did not have the time or equipment to do it myself. My mechanic ordered the arm instead of purchasing the rubber then pressing out then in. He felt it would save on labor. Water under the bridge. He did give me back the 2 lower control arms. They came off my 85 300d. Are they still usable? Does any one out there need them? Let me know please. By usable I mean once you sawp out the old rubber for new. They've been sitting in the garage for 2 months, i was about to throw them out. Pics attached.

Hello,
It's very generous of you to offer those arms, but It makes me wonder how much your mechanic charged you for new ones vice simpy getting those inner bushings out. I have replaced a couple sets of those and it wasn't that hard, in fact, about an hour job on each side once I got it down.
How does it drive now with the new components?
Have fun,
Adam Bush
