Last year I replaced the upper ball joints and the steering damper. The above parts took 98% of the play out of the steering, the other 2% was a steering box adjustment AFTER the parts were replaced. Total front end parts including the ones put in last year were about $200.00. Everything up front with the exception of lower ball joints has been replaced now. Since there is no play in the ball joints I didn't replace them. PO did about 60k miles ago. Front end parts are inexpensive, labor will kill you. It's mostly grunt work to replace this stuff so anyone can do it. Alignment is something to pay the pros to do. Just count the number of turns when you take it all apart and when it goes back together it should be close.
