I posted last week about a 1994 Accord EX with 235K+ miles that needed
suspension/alignment/steering work. It is tugging and jerking the wheel
up to around 40Mph, then a had vibration around 50-55, then a constant
vibration to about 80Mph. Any transition in speed will cause a
vibrationa as well. Oddly, if you go into a corner the vibration stops
while turning at speed, but resumes when you get straight. The
condition is getting worse, and I'm afraid it is getting pretty
dangerous to drive.
With the mileage, I'm guessing its the ball joints. The car is showing
its in alignment, but its wearing the inside of both front tires.
I figure a lot of bushings are worn out up front as well, and found
this auction on ebay:

For around 160$ shipped this looks like a steal, but wanted to see if
anyone had any input on it. Wouldn't it be easier to just replace all
these parts at one time while the front end is apart?
Do you think it would be a tough job for a DIY'er. I have access to a
lot of tools, impact wrenchs, etc... , but not a lift.
