I think so. My Vectra c went in to have a wheel bearing investigated. They gave me a check list which said 'both steering arms starting to wear'. Listed parts cost as £120 for both sides. Not sure what labour cost is/what's involved. Didn't ask, ask as had just been offered a £300 bill to do the wheel bearing. >:(

Part alone is £195 retail from vx, £175 from local factors, not sure on brand though. It does include the abs sensor if that counts? :-/
Pointed out that it should last longer than 32k, so being done for £170 all told. Should be foc but have doubled mileage in three months since buying the car, and it is a taxi so can't grumble to loudly I guess :-/
