Why do they claim are those components in need of replacement? Can they not get the camber into spec? Is there damage? I find the recommendation of wheel carriers and bearings very unusual unless there was significant damage inflicted to the front suspension.

Replacing shocks and struts is reasonable at six years old, but "need" and "recommend" are different things. I don't know why they'd be calling for a rack replacement unless it's leaking or has some other specific problem.

What's very strange is that there is no mention of the suspension arms. Bushings and ball joints are common points of failure, and if indeed there was damage to the front end the arms would be high on a list of suspects for an inability to get the alignment into spec.

Find out why they are calling for the replacement of these specific components and report back. It seems a long and odd list of parts.
