Unhappy SVX needs some work

I got my car checked out by the good people at Akron Auto Clinic. The mechanic(I think his name was Jim) pointed out to me that I need a lower ball joint on the pass. side and I also need new inner tie rods and have a bent end link on the pass. side too. He told me I obviously take good care of it cause everything else was pretty much perfect. He also pointed out a power steering leak somewhere around the rack itself and oil leaks at what would appear to be the driver side front cam seal(oil is coming from directly beneath the cam through the timing cover) and possibly a valve cover gasket on the pass. side but there all very small and just drippy leaks. I've only had to add power steering fluid once on a year and I haven't ever had to add oil. If anyone knows a place to get these parts at the best price let me know. BTW, Akron Auto Clinic is awesome and they've always given me super service and taken great care of helping me look after the SVX.
