Nathan,
1st pic: I agree, until chunks start coming off, I think you're okay in the control arm department. Mine are slightly cracked like yours as well. 3rd pic: They are called upper and lower cradle mounts. I would replace that lower one. There are 4 pairs total. Make sure to check the upper and lower bushings for all for mounts. 4th pic: That CV joint looks really messed up. It looks as if something is physically broken in side. I would definitely start looking for a new one. Junk yards would be a good spot for you to go to get a cheap replacement. 5th pic: I just bought 4 new shocks for my 95. About $60 a pop from NAPA with a lifetime warranty. Be usre to read up on the inner tie rod bushings. There are write ups on DI.net about using half bushings that are not rubber. So the install is much easier, and far less expensive. I replaced mine like a year ago and I didn't find out about that write up until a month after I already did the work. I was kickin myself on that one! Good luck, Mike --- "Nathan E.
