The kit has:
2 INNER TIE ROD ENDS second design w/offset tie rod ES3584 (2) = ES2072 (2)
2 OUTER TIE ROD END second design w/offset tie rod ES3462 (2) =ES2249RLT (2)
1 IDLER ARM K6251 (1)
1 PITMAN ARM K6255 (1) = K6339 (1)
2 LOWER BALL JOINT K5320 (2) = K5290 (2)
2 UPPER BALL JOINTK5335 (2) = K5289 (2)
2 SWAY BAR LINK K6600 (2)
2 ADJUSTING SLEEVES ES2004S (2)
I have looked at this kit also for my 1998 4dr and have been on the fence about purchasing it. It looks like it has all the major components. I'm not sure if it has all the bushings or not. I think that is what the red bushings in the picture are for. However, i havent counted them to make sure the kit has enough.

I've got some slop in my front end, and JUST the ball joints alone at Advance were over a hundred bucks.

Thanks for posting the link OP!

the bushings in the kit are just for the sway bar end links. Personally if it were me I would not buy the kit. Yeah its a really good deal but how long will it last. They might only last 6months. Who knows. I would recommend spending the extra money and getting Moog parts. They are know to last a long time.

The kit looks real complete with the arms and sleeves but i didn't see on the link what type of material the bushings are made of. I personally like P-S-T poly-graphite kits a little more expensive thought.

Just remember you get what you pay for!

It sounds like a cheap deal which leads me to wonder how long it will last. If it was me personally I would spend the extra money for a good quality brand like Moog.
