    You should have titled the post ..... Thank you NCT.

    Balljoints are safety critical items & when worn, your wheel could just collapse under you, usually when you need it most.
    Trackrod ends will improve steering, tyre wear etc.

    Rough guess, balljoints might be 30 to 40 each plus labour to fit.
    Trackrods would be cheaper.
    The labour shouldnt be huge.
    Be sure to get a wheel alignment done after.

    They are about €18 each from micksgarage.ie

    Front suspension was the most common nct fail item for cars in 2009
