Alright, my car drives like crap.. I feel every bump in the road, steering wheel wanders, merge lanes on the highway and the car wants to keep merging (scary), etc. Supposedly alignment is fine (had it checked last week) and of the three mechanics ive been to, they all say says "your car is fine, youre way too paranoid." Idiots.

From my own inspection:

- Passenger side tie rod boot is cracked on the end but largely intact, grease still inside, getting that replaced this week.

But seems I want to do my front suspension this winter, on the list:

1) Replace shocks and springs
2) Inner and outer tierods
3) New axles from RAaxles.Com ?
4) Ball joints ?

What else should I replace? Id rather pay labor once then multiple times.

Check the control arms upper/lower for bad bushings this will cause tire wear on the inside edges. Springs should be fine unless your going to lower or they have developed sagging. Alignment check should show this..

might wanan watch ebay, there was a seller selling upper control arms and lower ball joints as a package for fairly cheap, think it was like $200, I paid $100 for each of my upper control arms @ discount prices. Might wanna look over the motor mounts as well, possibly even the steering rack itself, I plan on changing my rack and pinion as well as my p/s pump in the next week or so, I got em both sittin in my room, just aint had the time to install em.
