Lower Control Arms

[MENINBLK]

2004 Mercury Marauder @ 140k miles

At 140k miles my lower ball joints are beginning to wear... 140k ?
So I'm thinking of replacing the entire lower arms instead and replacing the upper control arms and shocks too.

Anyone have a good location for buying these parts at a good price ?
I've looked them up on RockAuto and have prices for MOOG parts and Motorcraft shocks.

Upper Arms MOOG K80038 & K80040 $45.79 ea.
Lower Arms MOOG K80391 & K80392 $175.99 ea.
Motorcraft Shocks ASK24540 $123.79 ea.
Stabilizer Links MOOG K80140 $28.79 ea.
with shipping comes to $815.86.
With labor and an alignment I'm guessing $1200 for the whole job... :(
My local mechanic uses a shop guide for labor rates.

I'm not in a big rush, just need to get prepared in advance.

I did all of that last year and Rock Auto had the best prices.
You can avoid the problem of finding the correct rear bushings for the lower control arms buy getting the whole arm w/bushings and ball joint.

Side Note: If you have any trouble w/negative camber you should install the offset camber bolts from Moog at the same time - I did and now the front camber is perfect!

I also went w/Deeza (sp?) end links and KYB shocks all the way around.
