Ball Joint Replacement Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

I know that if it would have been taken to a dealer it would have been 1000 or more.

went there to have my wheel bearing checked after it sounded like it made funny noises, had it replaced the week before and the shop said it was my ball joints and that the vibrations caused it.. they charge 80 per hour which is a bit high but the quality overall is excellent

Lower ball joints replaced, Idler arms, alignment, labor, tax. Seems to be an ok price.

I was told that the price was high because my vehicle was a four-wheel drive and accounted for extra labor. I have no idea if this is true or not.

I was skeptical whether this repair was even needed...

Price included parts, labor, and tax for replacing ball joints and the alignment.

The car got in the shop because of a recall ,sub-frame replacement ,the service manager told me I had to change the lower ball joints .Had only 108,000 KM ,and because they were working on the front suspension ,my cost was absorbed (partly) because of the recall.Not sure they needed replacement ,all regular maintenance had been done .

Having all four ball joints replaced

I thought I was overcharged until I called around. I then realized that the shop took alittle off the price because I am a regular.

had to have front right upper ball joint repalced and wheel alignment after. Labor was $120..more than the parts.

My brother isn't a mechanic, but he has some skills. He fixed my passenger front lower ball joint and wheel bearing spark plugs and Wires for 50$... The main expense was the parts.. Wheel bearing and Spark plug/wires were 128$ and the Ball joint was 30$.. So my final expenses were 208$

Goodyear here "DFW" charged 538.00 after taxes.
They replaced right lower ball joint part 116.00 labor 160.00 and put on 2 camber adjusters part 40 bucks x2 labor 45.00 x2 and a wheel alignment 65.00. the work took less than 2 hours to perform.

Should have spent the money a while ago because I have to buy a new set of tires for the front.
They were less than a year old and are down to the belts almost on one side. don't wait or run the car on used tires if you must.

Both passenger and driver lower ball joints needed to be replaced, but I opted for the really really bad one which was the passenger side. I'll do the driver later when I have more mula.

Parts an Auto Zone $50 , found mechanic online who took $200 for labor
Midas wanted to charge me $1600 !!!!

replacement of both lower and whell aligment money well spent after seeing pics of what could of happened if I kept driving

All 4 ball joints replaced and alignment.

The total includes the allignment.

Front right lower ball joint required alignment afterward

2003, 4 wheel Drive vehicle. This price was only for the front wheels.

253,483 Miles, Replaced lower ball joints on both sides. Inspection showed that upper ball joints were still good, Pitman & Idler Arms Needed Replacement. Lester always does a fantastic job and warranties everything he does for a year. Quick Turnaround and Fair Price.

176,000 miles, replaced upper ball joints only on both sides. Lowers had been done with brake job 30M ago

This job was labor intensive. The front end has to be completely taken apart. They also replaced the brake rotors and pads for that price.

130,000 miles, replaced front left lower ball joint & front right lower ball joint

Called a couple places, apparently the 99 Mazda requires 5 hours of work & the parts aren't cheap.

The $957 does not include the necessary alignment too!

truck has 179,000 miles. slight movement in the ball joints, but very obvious.

Replaced upper and lower ball joints ondrivers side ONLY. Should have jus done it myself would have cost about $60.00 in parts........

152,000 miles on 2003 van, steering wheel a bit sloppy, much better after tires rotated, but still needed all four ball joints, plus alignment. Afterward, the steering is nice and tight now.

Replaced uppers with "greaseable" balljoints. Lowers are sealed. Replaced two on each side of the front end.
