Sounds too expensive to me...
Depending on your car... but for the early Celica's
Balljoints are like $20 each side
Rear shocks ( depends on brand ) but some KYB's are $150 or so
Why u need lower & upper control arms? Bent?
Depending what bushes being replaced. but to replace everyone in my car was $250 - $300.
Wheel alignment $40

Well if your control arms are moving around thats the bushes you need to replace. Not the actual arms.

just get an itemised bill with labour cost at the bottom, you will soon see what he is ripping you off on. Also it wouldnt hurt to ask another mechanic.

well these are the joys of owning a car
when u start to work on suspension bits it can be expensive
removing bushes pressign them in and out can be time consuming
so most of the things u said will be labour

Looks about right to me...
The biggest cost you have there are the upper and lower control arms which unless you have bent them in a acco should never have to be replaced.
