Default 1997 Suspension headaches

Heres the deal I got a 1997 prelude with 105000 miles on it. Suspension is factory and only thing I have replaced on it is a right rear wheel bearing. Now the thing is on cold morning the suspension will pop when accelerating from a complete stop. I have heard that the sway bar bushings are the culprit. Is this the case? Also I have had problems with the drivers side front end. I have gotten a few alignments but it doesnt seem to help, my tire on that side is feathering whether its my stock wheels or my aftermarkets wheels. I hear this is a toe in toe out problem but I also think my bushings may be to blame because when I turn my wheel left or right, I get a horrible squeeking sound. This sound happens when I go over bumps too. My cv boots are fine from what I can see so I dont think thats the problem. I think it may be my front end suspension bushings going bad. How long do these bushings usually last? How much would it cost to get them all replaced at a honda dealer? Also has anyone else experienced these problems? If so please let me know and let me know what you guys think of these problems.
