Well, I had some grinding noise in the front left wheel area of the wagon. Took it in (I'd love to do more on my own, but without a garage and the weather coming up fast)- Looks like the brake pads, then it looks like the one caliper is seized and so both need to be replaced. Also it was noticed that the ball joints are toast. For all that they will charge $900 CDN. What do you folks think. Is That a good price for pads, machined rotors, calipers, and ball joints? Also, there is 330k on this car plus a bit of rust. Mind you I've done a full tuneup and a new alternator recently.. What to do! BTW- it's on the hoist now and I need to decide really fast!! opinions please..

Thanks!

Yaleh.
