Local shops wanted to charge over 1000$ plus front end alignment probably because of older communinty but oRiley had a sale n got upper n lower for 150 and was 6 hours of work. PS: if u don't have press it will take longer |

Lowers were difficult. Had to drop subframe a couple inches to remove a couple bolts. Use a long breaker bar is the only way to break the nuts loose. Parts bought on EBAY. Make sure you get the correct nuts and bolts. The car was a 2009 Ford Fusion with 98xxx mi. Only 2 bushings were bad but replaced all of them because I only wanted to drop subframe once and not when snow was on the ground. |

Paid 30 bucks for 2 new ball joints. Rented the press for 100 bucks (got it back when returned). Before this I've never even changed a brake pad. Took me 8 hours for one side, 2 hours for the other (figured out how to do it). Saved several hundred dollars while learning a lot. |

Moog ball joints used - lifetime warranty and can be greased to keep them going a long time. Great service, showed me the details while the vehicle was on the lift. |

I did not even know how to change my oil. One day I took my ford ranger for a ball joint replacement at the local shop: they quoted for more than 800. Scared with such thing, the next day I decided to buy my tools and a repair manual, since then I've done my own work on all cars I have ever had (Chevy, VW, Ford, Mazda, Honda) and save a lot of money and time. |

Needed all 4 ball joints replaced. I bought the parts at Autozone for about $80.00 and installed them myself using a floor jack and jackstands. It was a hard job that took about 8 hours (I did not have a ball joint fork or a press.) I had the 2 link pins and the alignment done at Firestone ($230.00). It was a real job but saved a bundle. |
