My mom got a "new" van that needs work. Just got new wire harness, alternator, battery, starters, tie rods and tires. But the ball joints are shot. Everyone she has talked to in Maple Grove area is saying itll be around a grand to replace the balljoints. Anyone know of a shop that';ll do it cheaper? Also, it is a 92 Town and coutry with the full digital read out on the dash and the cockpit set up. Well the thing doesnt work worth crap. speed is off by around 20mph she thinks, gas gauge is beyond screwed up ( always has the low fuel ligth on) tempature is way off, direction of travel is off, ect......Any idea on how to fix that or what it may be? Or a shop they be willing to fix it? I know im asking on a Ford website, but you all kow the dealerships in the area and know cars. Any thoughts?

I know a place that can do the same job for half of that price or even lower, is in Saint Louis Park, the only bad thing is that they dont work right away on your car, so problably you have to wait like 2 days tops to get it back.
