The lowdown on the auto

Took the car in yesterday morning to the GM Dealershipso they could check out the front end noises etc. Here's a summary of what's wrong:
Both front hub bearings are growling, and need replacing
Both front lower balljoints have lots of play and need replacing
Then of course, the obligatory wheel alignment
Total cost : $1500

Luckily my Dad, in all his great dadliness, can get the parts for less than 1/2 of what they quoted me, AND can replace them this weekend while he is in town! My really great new neighbour Rob is also letting us use his new garage on Saturday to perform the required mechanics. All is good or looks good so far, maybe my luck is turning around? Oh crap, I shouldn't have said that.
