3. Front Driver wheel bearing - $45.00
4. Both Front Control Arm Bushings - $60.00
5. Rack and pinion (leaking by the boot - reservoir full) - either rebuild kit $30.00, or a new/used one $100.00

so looks like ill be ordering the bearings and bushings tonight. as for the rack and pinion any ideas? should i rebuild, get a new one or just get a new boot to pass inspection.

WTF? Did they diagnose your wheel bearing problem based on wheel runout??? Did they really check that? If Illinois had inspections like this 80% of the vehicles would fail.

yes and now. if your tires are in the air, pull the bottom of the tires toward you.. if it moves at all in the forward, backward position then your wheel bearing is bad. but the tire going bald was do to that, and me not having bushings in my LCA.. yes, there WERE NO BUSHINGS in there.. the old ones rotted i guess.
