Got rims off finally only too find........

I finally got a key for my wheels from Mc Gard after about 2 hours yelling at one of their employees. I had gone to a total of 18 places to get my rims off all tried everything one even odered special tools to try to get them off. (the problem was they are set so far in to the wheel)
Anyway I paid a extra 15 dollars for next day shipping so I could work on my brakes today. Got 1 rim off took everthing apart put brake quiter on the back of the pads, went to put the caliper back on and found one of the bolts is screwed up and will no longer work. So the car sits in my driveway untill saturday when I hope I get the time put her all back together.
And oh ya I have even more better news......
Well once I got the wheel if it hit me right when I looked at it THe balljoints are bad The rubber boot is ripped open and grease is everywhere. Both control arms seem to be bad where they mount to the rear of the hub. And then on top of that the tie rod ends look to be bad as well. The topping on the cake turns out to be the sway bar bushings are dried out and cracked
Any advice befor I go crazy?

Thanks
