If you want to DIY the tie rod ends, tires and the exhaust are the most critical. Followed closely by the suspension bushings. Sway bar links / bushings are less critical as long as you are not into performance driving. You need to have the toe set after replacing the tie rod ends or you will destroy your tires in no time. E brake cable will self destruct soon unless properly rerouted. Oil leak is major if loosing more than 1 Qt / 1000 miles.



Doing the front end work piecemeal will probably triple the cost of doing it all at once.



On any major repair I recommend that you get 3 or 4 estimates from local service facilities unless you are lucky enough to have a shop with an absolutely stellar reputation available. Compare the estimates and choose one of the middle estimates. My reasoning for this is the low estimate either left something out or worse is deliberately giving a low ball estimate to get you in and then when your car is all torn apart they find all sorts of critically important things wrong with it which run your bill through the roof. Do the leg work and be an informed car owner. No reliable technician or shop will give an estimate for repair site unseen except as a budgetary estimate which will be a range from the middle average to the unusual high end possible.How much to raplace all four tie rods + one cv axle boot+ two new tires+ bushings?
Buy a Chilton or Haynes book for your car. We'd be hear all night giving you accurate step by step answers. You will need a special tool from an auto parts store or borrow it free using a credit card for security from Auto Zone to remove the inner tie rod ends from the steering rack. Without this tool you're dead in the water.How much to raplace all four tie rods + one cv axle boot+ two new tires+ bushings?
fix front end all at once or you ll screw up all the new parts you just put in - jcw.com - pickle fork ( that's a tool ) you need that with a hammer - ball joints most like riveted on ( grind off ) you need a grinder for that - but they do bolt on - all parts $750 about - then wheel alignment
