front end rehab........is this what I should do?

93 max SE needs a front end total suspension rehab due to inability to hold an alignment, scary handling and tire wear problems......

I'm looking at..........

-control arms (complete assy w/ bushings and ball joints)
-struts w/ mountkit and boots
-inner and outer tierod ends

thought I would put all of the above in myself and then have an alignment done. Anything that I have missed or could possibly afford to skip doing?
Thanks for the advice.

your man is going to be Internetautomar(t)

You probably won't beat Brian's prices on the stuff you need.

Sounds good, but here's a few things to inspect while you have everything apart.

CV boots, wheel bearings, and brake pads. It would be easier to change out an axle while you have everything apart.

Sounds good. I had planned to do the brakes while I'm in there since I have lifetime replacement on those pads anyway and have already priced everything. Internetautomart is definately the best deal around. FYI I am getting..........
-Inner Tie Rod ends (2)
-Outer Tie Rod ends (2)
-Contol arms complete w/ bushings and ball joints (2)
-front struts (2)
-strut mounts (2)
-strut boots (2)

All for $390 + shipping. The only other expense should be an alignment and new tires to replace those that that I have ruined in 5 months w/ my worn-out setup. After spending $ on a job like this I always have the dealership give me a price on the same work...........It always makes the $, time and effort less painful. thanks for the advice.

Finally went through..............It wasn't a problem on your end. I tried to do something else through paypal later in the evening and had the same problem w/ their service. Everything up an running this evening, however.
Thanks all.
