Got a '98 here and the suspension, track arms, tie rods, rubbers... or what's left of them, are to be changed. Car have 60k and has been soft-driven by previous owner. That whole suspension stuff can't be in any other condition than all dried-up and ready to disintegrate itself! In my case, I can feel the wear getting worst every time I take it for a spin.
Anyone will recommend you, and only if the engine is in good shape, to wait and save up to cover $3,000 for a brand FULL suspension kit (track arms, wishbone-this-that-rubber-here-there). DIY would save you a thousand I'd say but you'll end up spending most of it on a wheel alignment pro-job afterward anyway, mouhaha!
The car "will feel exactly the same as when out of the manufacture" (apparently, they say, those who had the experience please chip in).
And at last, best advice ever, just change the engine oil at every 2,500k and you'll never regret to have invested 3K on your new ride.
