Default idler arm, pitman arm replacement cost

Hi all,
I got a quote on my 1999 Blazer LT 4x4 to replace the pitman arm, idler arm, and alignment, of $305. Is that a reasonable fee?

Considering that about $60-$70 of that is a front end alignment... Yeah, that sounds like a very good price. If I needed that work, I don't know if I could justify doing it myself for that kind of a quote. Just hope they don't screw something else up in the repair process.

Not a bad price at all. I just spent last weekend doing it myself and I would not reccomend it. Parts were almost $100 and then 69.99 to get it lined up. The only reason I did it myself was because I was doing all balljoints at the same time. Now that gets expensive.

I replaced my idler arm saturday, not too bad to do. The pitman arm, from what I understand requires the steering box to be lowered, which is probably a pain.
