1996 lil red has 150k miles. has been a bit bumpy for years, and was told to change shocks a few year back but just put it off. now it is squeaking like crazy. moved from CA to NOLA and the potholes are bad, so first squeaking was over potholes. now it's all the time and pretty loud, so this is not fun. control arm, ball joints and shocks are all original and shot so new ones are in order so says the mechanic (alignment, oil change, rotation, thrown in). cost is $1,600. I love this little truck, so don't mind the money, but does it sound right?
