Got my tires but wasn't able to align them!!!!!!

I finally decided to get the Continental DWS. The shop told me I need a front right wheel bearing, 2 outer tie rods, one upper ball joint and one lower ball joint!! How fucked is this suspension???? So pissed!
So I went to my cousin's auto parts and got both tie rods 2 upper and 2 lower ball joints and the bearing! Will be installing them next Friday and get the alignment right after. Will keep the driving to a minimal till then. Will probably put about 200 km till everything is done. But my first impression on the tires is that they're very quiet and comfortable. I will test them out fully once everything is done! So disappointing !!

Ever considered getting second opinions on work needed?

I bought the parts from my cousins auto parts and I'm taking it to my mechanic.
If the the parts need to be changed he'll change them if not I'll just return the parts !
