Struts range from $85-$100 each, plus prolly 2 hrs labor. I don't know about the joint, but there's a start ($600)

Nissan says you have to replace the whole control arm to replace the ball joint, BUT you can buy them seperately for $30 each and replace them without the arm. Vinipux and I have both done this. If you can't DIY, you might be able to find an independent mechanic to do it for you, but the dealer will never consider it.
