I don't know how much you're willing to spend, but i ordered this kit from Ebay for $211.00 w/ free shipping and it brings both upper and lower arms, both inner and outer tie rods http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...l1313&_nkw=140413732008&_sacat=&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

WAY Bad move... I just did that last year and I have to replace the lowers and the one outter tie rod ends.. It was a mistake.. the old cliche! you get what you pay for... I give it 6 months and the front will rattle its a$$ off...

You could be right. But I bought an upper control arm for my '96 off fleabay for $40 bucks about 5 years ago and haven't had a problem yet. Knock on wood.

Oops!
I've had good luck so far with the uppers sold by Arnott on eBay. $99.95 / pair with free shipping and a lifetime warranty.

Agreed, the uppers not such a problem, however the lowers because of the Struts, take more of an abuse im my opinion...
Ohhh, bad move.
The tie rods will fail pretty quick and the lower ball joints will start making noise before winter hits depending on how much you drive.Sorry we couldnt warn you before hand.
Yeah well you are special.
