Only issue with the arms will be the lower rear vertical bushing. It tears easily as it ages. One per side, lower arm o ly. The other 3 bushings per side I wouldn't worry with. You could do sway bar end links and body mounts also, they shouldn't cost much. Remember tie rods have inners and outers, you should inspect/replace both if necessary.

Agreed above with sway bar end links, if those are the shot stock ones, they'll make a world of difference.

Also, periods. are. your. friends.

My mechanic wants to everything at once my budget is very small so we got to keep around 400 bucks. I got the tie rods inner and outer and upper and lower ball joints and wheel hubs.
