400 bucks for a font end kit!!!!

I agree with Sharpie. You can find deals around. Rockauto.com sells some quality front end pieces, ball joints, bushings, tie rod ends etc by brand name manufacturers at a pretty decent price. I am going to buy most of my front end pieces from the local auto parts store, because I know the manager and can get a deal. Look around on the parts for sale section, look on Craig's list and Ebay. Deals are still out there, you just have to look. Good luck.
