Default Bushings, ball joints, tie rods, etc.

Hey guys. There recently was a thread about this subject. I was wondering:

(a) Who out there has replaced these items?
(b) Did you notice a substantial improvement in ride quality?
(c) If there are lower ball joints, I would assume that means there are also upper ball joints. What's the difference?

Over the last few months, my ride quality has detoriorated to the point where the ride is very harsh (I know our cars have firm rides, but it seems like the bumps are being transmitted straight into the cabin). I've explored possible culprits (e.g., the tires or the shocks), but I don't think that either of them are the problem (the tires are Toyos with about 15,000 miles, and I'm having the shocks checked out tomorrow).

Anyone?

So I guess you ended up not doing it yet? I seem to remember seeing you posting in the thread that you intended to take care of this in the near future.
