So I went in to get an alignment and they drove it around to but it on the lift but I looked out the window and they didn't. Then one guy comes in and tells me to come look at something. So they have the drivers side front tire jacked up and telling me to look at what they see. The guy was moving the tire and the other guy was pointing out everything wrong with it. It was the upper and lower ball joint on the drivers side, a pitman arm, a track bar, and a lower ball joint on the passenger side. Then he said "basically you need a whole new front end and thats gonna cost any where from 1k to 2k." So, it took me by surprise because I was just going in to get an 80 dollar alignment and then he tells me I need to fix a bunch of things thats gonna cost 2k lol. So, my question is what should I do? A part of me wants the shop to do it so I don't have to deal with the headache but another part of me doesn't wanna pay 2k and do it myself but I really don't know what Im doing. What would be the better route?
