Yes
It is normal maintenance.
Check your independent service guy for a price. A regular tire shop is not where I'd want to be with what you are looking at to be done.
You can buy complete new units or press out the old bushings and ball joint, if they are not out of round..
Have had this done even on low mileage w and c 126's/cars.
