I need to replace a few parts on my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. My mechanic quoted some pretty high prices for the parts and I can find them all for way cheaper online.
I bent the "trailing arm" and "lateral link"

I also need the wheel bearings replaced on both rear wheels.
The thing is I can find parts from brands like Mevotech for cheaper:

The issue is that there are always additional parts like bushings, nuts, flange bolts, etc that are used to secure the main parts. If I buy the Mevotech trailing arm, for example, is there no guarantee that the mechanic will even be able to put it on the car if I don't buy all the other supporting parts as well? Or do these third party parts also include all the additional hardware for mounting?
