i live in the DFW metro, by the texas stadium, but im willing to drive an hour if the work is done right. from what ive heard, 1LE suspension package is the perfect medium between handling and daily drivablity. i want to get the suspension installed at the same time. if anyone can help, i would really appreciate. i was gonna get all the minor work on the car done alot sooner but i jst ran outta cash, so now i gotta do it one at a time. but the suspension has to get done soon, otherwise im gonna have to buy new tires again. thanx for all the help

A tie rod and a bushing shouldn't run anymore than say $100.

It's probably more than you want to pay, but a set of Koni Single Adjustable shocks are amazing on these cars from a handling perspective.

if you need a quick fix, tie rod from o-reillys and bushings off the internet. maybe from strano (sponsor).
