Remembering an Old Suspension Job
I remember I was quoted this for a suspension job
Front Lower Steel Control Arms+ Front Lower Aluminum Control Arms=
$382.50 LABOR and $1044 in part 4 control arms. = $1426.50
Looking thorugh Ebay today I found all that plus more for cheaper
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m29
So its already about $300 cheaper for me plus much much more parts.
I went further and emaied the seller "How much for Front Lower Steel Control Arms+ Front Lower Aluminum Control Arms"
He quoted me for $500, So thats near $550 dollars cheaper than this shop quoted.
What does this mean? Was the shop trying to rip me off back then? How much are control arms really worth?
