well the control arm can be had at karbasher, i saw a couple cressidas there 2 days ago.
the ball joint, replace with new.
bearing assembly? like the hubs and bearings? cuz if they're worn, replace em, their cheap.
front tire, replace it and the next worse, put the 2 new on the rear and the other 2 keepers on the front.

the tech said that if they are tapered bearings i can tighten the nut and that would do fine? i thought they are not supposed to move though?

tapered means tighten the nut, but if they have moved around sicne their loose and have worn down somewhere then there may be problems, front wheel bearings and the seal are pretty cheap anyways.
imo its better to do it once and be safe then to wonder about it, i redid mine with the front brakes/struts, packed the bearings (messy job) and put em in.
