Default Advice on loose wheel bearings..

Hey everyone I went in today to get an allignment and tires plus advised me that both my front two wheel bearings are really lose and my left outer tie rod is bad.. They quoted me a price of $1,000+ to fix it> I talked to some friends and they said I can do it myself fr way cheaper but I just dont know what to buy, am I supposed to buy just the bearing,, or the whole wheel hub. and any links to where i can buy them?

P.S is it safe to drive my car temporarily until I get it fixed?

Any help woule be appreciated =)

Did you actually try to see if they were bad? You know shops pull that BS all the time "Well your tie rod end and lower ball joints are bad, $2000 please +blinker fluid cost" and then they don't even change it because it wasn't bad to begin with.
