Im currently doing the rear suspension on my daily shock absorbers, coil springs, stabilizer links, control arms
How many control arms are there total for each side of the rear
I have the lower control arm, control arm, stabilizer link, is there an upper, lower and lateral link making it 3 total control arms per side?

There are 5 on each side not including the sway bar links. No need to replace the sway bar links unless the rubber bushings look like they are falling apart, they arent like the fronts with a ball and socket that wear.

No need to replace the spring control arms unless they are rusted out, there are no bushings on them. The bushings are in the subframe and wheel carrier.

Are you doing the work yourself? The subframe has to be lowered to access 3 of them. The stop plates need to be removed to get at the thrust arm.

At K-MAC we have the experience of resolving OEM Suspension shortcomings (and costs) since 1964 !

Manufacturing front and rear “uprated bushings” and seeing there is no front Camber or Caster and no rear Camber provided OEM - also adjuster kits.

THESE KITS ARE BOLT-ON - without need for special tools or time consuming control arm removal !

I will add that if removing the subframe bolts it is recommended to recut and blow out the threads:
