I don't know what is bad on your rods to fail inspection, but most likely the bushings to the lower control arm are bad. If you want to do a quick fix, I'd go to the local auto parts store and get a set of Moog or similar regular rubber bushings. You'll notice they are different from stock (improved) and you put a metal sleeve on the arm first and then slide the bushings on. You should be able to do this job by disconnecting the lower control arm ball joint and at worst, diconnecting the lower bolt on the shock assembly. This way you avoid having to re-align. Unless your outer bushings on the sub-frame are bad, I'd leave them alone, as getting those big nuts off can be quite a chore even with an air gun.
Good luck.
