I originally thought I'd replace the entire assembly as well, but it looks like the inners (and drag link) were replaced not too long ago, seemed like a waste I suppose.

Voltage Regulator:
I'm getting 12.5v on the alternator at idle, slightly more when I play with the throttle. Not a whole lot more. I may just replace the VR just to be safe. The car has never left me stranded, so the charging system seems fine.

LCA:
Good idea on the lower ball joints. I might just do them anyway. I am buying all Febi Bilstein, are they pretty good for this? I can't afford OEM, so this is the next best from what I can tell.
Lemforder ball joints and other suspension parts have a decent rep at a decent price and were made in Germany; at lest the ones I got in the past were. Febi and Meyley have a few German and Euro made parts but also have PRC made parts and parts from other Countries.
