Refused Alignment; Have a few questions.

I was refused for my alignment yesterday, after waiting over an hour for him to get to look at the car (I thought I made an appointment for a specfic time but okay then) and was refused for a few reasons:

1) Worn Right Outter Tie Rod.
~ Understandable, 17year old car; Time to Upgrade.

2) Worn Ball Joints, both sides, Front.
~ Understandable, 17year old car; How do I go about replacing these? I never needed to look into it, so I don't know how, if possible, I can. (Seems MOOG Ball Joints are of the more suggested for replacement, $40-$50??, Friend has Bushing Press, sweet.)

3) Blown/Leaking Front Coilovers =(
~ I called this, earlier in the week I was driving and there is bridge near my house that goes over a river and as I was jamming away, I swore I heard a "pop" of some sort when I first got on the bridge, since I didn't hear it clearly b/c of the music, I didn't think much of it at the time, but I saw I was "bouncing" more then I usually did, running Stiff KSports, I was used to the "bouncing" already.
~I have KSports that have been running good for well over 2 years. Should I look into rebuilding them? My 240 is my only means of transportation, it would be very hard for me to have them sent out. I searched and came up with no luck on KSports specifically, but does anyone know price/turn around time for having them rebuilt? General rebuild seems to be 150-250 a pair with a 2week to 4week turn around time, from what I found searching. Or option 2 save for a new set. I really did like my KSports, but I think I will upgrade and go with Stance, which has always been a fav of mine personally.

So guys, if you could answer those few Q's as I go do some more searcing, I'd appreciate it!
