I would also remove the corrosion on the terminals and try new batteries. Usually a mix of batteries come from different places leaving mixed volts and mah.

Start buying. Limited 85030 arms at $20 one front one rear.
Front axles are pricey. Rears non existant. Stock up as much as you can. Last 6 month these got popular and parts are drying fast.
I would buy a new car and sunday...
