Thanks guys. I figured I'd get the ball joints done as well since I need to replace the control arms, but....maybe not since I need to keep the cost down at the moment.
In regard to "control arm" vs. "tension struts", I think I'm still a little confused. Sorry for the mechanical ignorance. Is the tension strut the rear arm and the control arm the front? That's what I had originally thought. One arm has the ball joint facing upward (which I thought was the rear control arm, some call it "tension strut") and the other, the ball joint faces down (which I thought was the front control arm). I could very well be wrong.
