I wish I could do this myself, but I don't have the tools or a good place to replace the ball-joints and front u-joints. Nor do I have a buddy or friends with a shop or tools.

Soooo, I asked shop that did some welding for me and they said About $350.00 for labor here in San Antonio, TX. Is that about right? Anyone have a shop they would recommend around here? Also, am willing to travel as far as Austin to get them done.

Thanks!

Nice. Been meaning to stop in there for tire truing. Been lining up excuses to make a few runs to SA. I could use a good eye on my front end / suspension / steering, too, as the town I'm in I don't know anyone to trust. SW ought to be good for a baseline for a work quote against others prices and apparent repute.

I've no garage anymore and am too old to want to bust ball joints again.

Thanks.

I just paid about $500 in labor to have both sides upper & lower ball joints replaced as well as the hub assembly on both sides replaced. Parts were about $1150 for Raybestos Pro Grade.

$350 (total, both sides) would be a great price around here, usually $500. I've done that job a couple of times and if stuff isn't coming apart nicely (brake rotor, wheel hub, ball joints) or if you break something trying to get stuff apart the time/cost can add up quickly!!

I just paid a little over $400 for all 4 ball joints. I supplied the Carli joints and they installed them.

Thanks, you all. Been a very long time since I paid someone else.

I must be getting a steal. 195 labor all ball joints hub bearings and u joints. I supplied all parts

That is a steal real big.That's like barely 2 hours labor in most dealers / shops.
