Hello everyone, was wondering what I should pay for a front lower ball joint, front lower control arms, and 4 springs replacement, if I provide the parts?

So far the cheapest quote I got from an indy was $800 including alignment. Still seems like about 30-40% more than what I should be paying. What do you think?

In Houston, I consistently get $100 a corner for springs. Alignment at its cheapest is $100- $125. I paid $150 from Dealership.

My lower control arms and ball joints came as a unit from Meyle HD so that saved labor. I think mine were 1 hour each @ $100 but have to look up records.

So it seems to be in the ball park

Edit: LCA came with bushings installed not ball joint

If you have the correct size wrenches, some zip ties to keep the springs in place, it really isn't too hard to change out.

I replaced driver's side lower arm and ball joint in an hour or so. Front alignment, I used the string method. Car drives true.

But if you aren't into repairs yourself, find a shop you can trust.
