Not long is my guess if it's the lower control arm. It will start squeaking badly when dirt gets in it and the grease dries out. You'll be changing it out well before it wears out though due to the horrendous squeaking that makes you crazy and look like a Pcar driver who can't afford to get his car fixed (that's how I felt anway!).
You can get a front, lower control arm from Sunset for a little over $220 and it only takes a decent mechanic 45 minutes to replace. Book rate at the dealership is 4 hours and they sell the part for $450 or so. However, doing it yourself or buying the part and having a Pcar mechanic swap it out for you for actual time will be a LOT cheaper.
Hope this helps!
