you didn't say when the popping noise happens; going over a bump slowly, turning one direction, when coming to a start/stop.
$1500 is ridiculous. You need to find a new shop. The *easiest* way to replace all that stuff is just buy new stuff and replace it. The cheaper route is to replace just the bushing, but that's a lot of work and usually requires a press. But if the ball joints are bad, you can't fix that; have to replace the control arm.
I had a notorious popping sound when coming to a stop and even my indy couldn't find it (and he's excellent). I mounted a gopro with a magnetic mount under my car and pointed it at my suspension where I thought it was coming from. One pop later and I saw the stanchion arm to subframe bushing shift. It was poly I had put in. I yanked those shitz out and put rubber back in. No more pop!
