Ball Joint
SPRING
Shock Absorber
Linkage tie Rod

Rock Auto has all of the parts that I need. OEM parts total about $1200. There is a Front End Kit from Deutsche Parts. With the Springs (2) and Shock Absorber the parts come to about $600. I can save $50 using AC Delco (control arms), DEEZA for the ball joint and OEM for the tie rod linkage. I have no experience with front end work. What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance
Took my 04 in for an alignment this afternoon, found out I have ball joint issues myself. Glad I didn't wait until the last minute before CAA6.
