That was way too high an estimate..
You can do it with some care depending on what tools you have..
there are threads and pictures in the archives...
Here is the main point... the original alignment and toe in should have found that kind of ball joint wear.. that did not happen in the last thousand miles..
Unless you pretty much put in everything new... about the best a front end alignment shop can do is set the toe in. If you do it correctly though it will probably be good the next two decades...
I was just reading in the FSM the other day... and I think you need to find a copy of that and follow it... they give very specific directions... and without it you can mess up.. not like in the old days of American cars with unequal length A arm suspensions...
Things like needing to have the weight on the wheels before some things are tightened... those things are important on these cars....
( For you old timers who are about to hit the keyboard.. it WAS important for the upper A arm bushings to be unloaded when tightened because that was part of the springing action..but not as important as the warnings on these suspensions gotten wrong).
