Well, i bought all MOOG parts off ebay, got my tie rod ends and ball joints for $35 WITH shipping.
I have been driving HARD and no alignment issues, grease leak issues, popping, or pulling issues.

Just read their reviews, and search for MOOG, i guess their pretty prostegious.

And my tip to you, don't have a shop do it. I got charged $967 for 4 struts, springs, ball joints, tie rod ends, and CTRL arm bushings.

I reccomend having your bushings done professionally, if you are getting them. Some say no on here, some say yes, but after i saw the broken window at the auto place where my bushing flung loose from the press and smacked it, i realized it could have been my face.

also, you can go to www.rockauto.com they offer a full stock of OEM replacement parts at reasonable prices.

**** edit******

$35 for the ball joints, $35 dollars for the tie rod ends = $ 70 total.
