Default Re: Ball Joint Replacement Question

Ball joints run like $20-30, so my friend was basing his prices on that - not on the price of the entire upper control arm. I ended up just having a shop do it since they already had me on the hook for $50.

I skipped the camber kit - couldn't afford it. The shop wanted $90 for the camber kit plus another $90 in labor. I've seen them on the internet for like $30 - $40, so that is like 300% mark up on what is basically some really nice bolts. Do all shops do this? They also tried to charge me $25 for 'Shop Supplies' but I talked them out of that BS.

I am not going back to that shop. They are local, not some big chain. After asking around some more they are known for doing good work but trying to nickle and dime you to death.
