Get a job. Or sell one of your toes at a medical school where they pay you so the students can practice amputation surgery stuff.... up to $5000 per toe I hear!
Seriously though, they have definately added in a good amount of labor costs to your estimates. As was pointed out earlier, find out what this alignment thing is, a normal wheel alignment should be less than $50.
Aftermarket shock absorbers should cost you between $300 and $500 dollars and I'm sure you and some buddies could fit them yourselves one weekend.
If your seals have gone bad a second time so soon then you may have damaged axles. there could be a small grove that has worn its way in to the seal contact area. This is common on any high milage vehicle and can easily be fixed using a very thin sleeve that slides over the worn area, these are sometimes called speed sleeves.
