Cannot Wait, taking car out before spring

I am going to take my baby 8 out from storage earlier than expected. I am going to top up the battery tomorrow, hope it starts up this weekend. Praying the weather is getting warmer from now on.

I have to park my winter beater until I have a chance to fix the problem developed this morning. There is a lot noise from the front-end on my winter
beater, metal grinding on same spot while the car is rolling. I think it is the LH wheel bearing.

I passed by speed!, thinking they can replace the LH front wheel bearing.
3 muffler guys trying to break the front wheels off without taking off the wheels lug nuts or spinning the wheel to listen to the metal noise. After a short group meeting and gave me an estimate for 4 tie rods cost 700 plus tax plus extra on wheel alignments. So I asked where is the metal grinding noise coming from, the answer is the right top suspension plate. I asked how come I do not have the estimate on the suspension plate, another 398 plus tax. He also suggest me to change the shocks and spring while the frontend is taking apart anyway. I made up excuse the office call me back to work urgently, get the hell out of there.
