Pretty much a standard rate for ball joints. They are very labor intensive and more than a little bitchy. Heat, PB Blaster, brute force and ignorance are your friends....along with quite a bit of patience.

Talk to Scotty at Arvada Auto Tech and get a quote from him. Tell him that I sent you to him and see what he says. Most of the dollars are in the labor as it is a really sucky job.
