Bad News :(

Put my truck in the shop just to get checked out, and supposively it needs new ball joints, in. tie rod end, sway bar mount bushings. And it is going to be real pricey with their numbers.

I don't know much about trucks, how serious are these things and what will happen if I do not replace them right away?

and do you think I can find them for cheaper and if so can some body help me cost is like over a 100 for every part besides the bushings?

Please Help if its not to much trouble

If your near me I'll do em for real cheap. But do the tie rod ends and bushings yourself and just go to the dealer for the alignment. It's literally like 6 bolts. The balljoints. Pay for. Biggest pain in the ass.

But the ball joints i'd worry about going, You can test them for yourself by jacking the truck up, putting a bar underneath the tire and pull up. Listen for a popping noise. If you have 1 they are bad.

the sway bar bushings arnt a big hazard as is the tie rod ends unless it's getting uncontrolable when your driving.

its easy as all get out to replace. look up some videos on youtube. probably take you about 4hours total if you do both sides.
