Default Busted Control Arm, Upper/Lower Ball Joints

MN winter has done a number on my front suspension..damn those potholes.

My car has recently been making some loud clunking noises so i took it to my mechanic yesterday. He indicated that I had busted both front control arms, lower and upper ball joints. He has been calling quite of few places, but the lowest price he has found was 515 for each control arm and 75 for each lower ball joint.

Does anyone know where i can get these for cheaper. Im hoping Langsdale on the forum can send me his part out, or im going to go to a junk yard to find some. I just cant spend 1200 on parts and another 300 on install.

Has anyone had this problem in the past. I have Tein CS Coilovers and Daizen Sways...would this cause it?

They look to be very cheap on ebay, but then cheap is not always best !
