420A Need to replace bushings/ball joints. Cheapest option?

[midniteblack]

Ok, i have a 95' Eclipse GS with 188k on the clock. I know for a fact most of the front control arm bushings are shot and my rear upper knuckle bushings are toast as well. I haven't taken a look at the ball joints but i'm sure at this mileage they are in need of replacement.

My tires in the rear wear pretty quickly and i know it's the upper knuckle bushings that are causing this. Should i just replace those bushings with the ones from mitsubishigraveyard or do the whole rear with the prothane kit?

Also, what would be the cheapest most ideal route for the front? Replace the bushings with the front bushing kit from prothane(i choose prothane due to the ease of installation with the split design) and replace the ball joints(can these be bought separately?). If i went this route i would have to buy the front lateral arms regardless because they shouldn't be replaced with poly bushings, correct?

OR, do i have to buy all new control arms with ball joints and bushings already installed? If so, where is the cheapest place to purchase these?(i've seen them on ebay, but are they total crap?)

This is just my daily beater car, so as long as i fix my rear clunk/tire wear issue and sloppy suspension up front while spending as little as possible i'll be happy.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Cheapest option would be going to the junkyard and pulling them yourself. You can use the parts off a Chrysler Sebring and a Dodge Avenger if you cant find any 2g DSM's. You might spend $30 for everything you need.

I would go with OEM since they tend to be really good.
