It's been a while, but it is time to get my ride reliably running again.
Ball joints MUST be changed, as well as wheel bearings.
Rotors and brake pads are midline acceptable but I'd like to change them out and bleed the brakes.
Outer tie rod boots are not torn, but the car has 145,000 miles and they are original.
Here is my parts list, is this way too expensive (825$), or does it line up with what I am wanting to do?
What can I do to decrease the cost but get good quality parts?
