Front suspensión job.

Has anyone replaced the upper control arms and lower ball joints? Is it a difficult DYI? I was quoted $875 plus tax from an Indy shop including an alignment, with me providing the parts. Thank you in advance

E55 AMG
not very difficult job at all, I did this a couple months back. Go to an autozone or O'Reilly Auto Parts and get a balljoint removal/press tool.
Also look up some Youtubes on the matter as there are a bunch of DIYs out there

+1, not a difficult job at all pressing the balljoints in is a workout, but save yourself the cash. Watch some YouTube videos, and take your time.
