rebuilt both my SE and SD front ends this summer parts are small cost and as did work myself was well worth the effort. There are some good independent front end shops in nearly every city. would ask around , rubber parts on 17 year old car are not what they used to be . Larry is right about idler arm bushings.when I did front end on SE did not do them but found out that it was not quiet right on test drive,did them and took care of the minor nuance.I belive that it is wise to always do the simplest possible first.......
