Pls: need advice about shop repair

Hi everybody
After a complete rear end rebuild as well as new front shocks and shock mounts I took the car to the dealership to perform a 4-wheel alignement. They called me to tell they need to replace both tie rods in the front to do the alignement (500$). I agreed. After another day they called again. Now they tell me about a frozen bolt of the right control arm. They recommend to replace both control arms (1300$).
That's a lot of money! Now I wonder how to proceed. I may tell them to do just a rear end alignement, and do the control arms myself, later. But the car will not run straight they say. Also I do not have a spring compressor, nor power tools nor a lift.
What would you do?
Any input is welcome!
Regards, Bruno
