Thats a lot of worn out front end parts. I know that the idler arm can be rebuilt with a couple of bushings and new seals. As for the rest I think you are better getting stuff that is new or at least rebuilt with a warranty.

I just replaced my tie rod ends.... what a PITA. I had a seperator, and had to hit it with huge maul. The hammer wasn't big enough! Then I couldn't get the ends out of the sleeve. So I bought 2 new ones, only to find out that mine are 3 inches longer than stock. So I had to have a shop seperate them for me. Took soaking them overnight in penetrating oil, and heating them up with a torch to get them apart. But my steering is sooo much better now. $108 for inner and outer tie rod ends from CSK.
