Anytime you buy a car you should research its potential problems and then go on the testdrive looking out for them. Sorry man u hosed yourself. If you're not Into working on cars this car will get really expensive really fast. My advice would be to do the Ball joints and then just drive it into the ground.

Try searching for parts on Rockauto. Some of my OEM parts came from them, they also have lots of cheap and reman. parts. Partsgeek is good with some OEM and "other" parts as well, but aren't to cheap. No free shipping unless you purchase above a certain price. Have you tried Ebay? You gotta search around the net for the best prices though.
I also changed a whole mess of suspension/steering components when I first bought mines. Good luck.
